GDJC Talks: Jie Zhang - Intergenerational transmission of obesity
Channel: Global Diabetes Journal Club -
Date: 2021-10-15

Global Diabetes Journal Club Talk by Jie Zhang, a PhD student from the the Department of Public Health, Aarhus University, Denmark, on BMI in parents and their adult offspring.

She presented preliminary findings from a systematic review and meta-analysis she is working on. The main finding was that there is an association between parent BMI and their adult offspring's BMI, meaning that if the parent's BMI is high, then it is more likely that their children's BMI is also higher. 

We look forward to see the published results of this very interesting work in the near future.
