OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Adiposity & Disease Risk: Global Insights (Webinar)
This webinar is jointly organised by UKM Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI) and Nuffield Department of Population Health (NDPH), University of Oxford. Participation is free-of-charge.
Obesity is a significant risk factor for an expanding set of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, many cancers, and an array of musculoskeletal disorders. These conditions are estimated to have contributed to 4 million premature deaths and 120 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) worldwide.
The interactions between genetics and environmental risk factors such as demographic factors, physical inactivity, diet and metabolic markers have been linked to the increased risk of a person’s susceptibility towards obesity. In this webinar, experts in this field will highlight several important topics on obesity that are prevalent in Malaysia and across the globe.
