Science Extra: Weight of the world - The Science Show - Full Program Podcast

Update: 2024-12-24

Description

Once considered a problem for high-income countries, being overweight is now on the rise in low- and middle-income parts of the world. At least 2.5 billion adults are now overweight or obese.

What’s causing this collective weight gain?

And if 2023 was the year of hype about weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, 2024 felt like the year of acceptance. We find out why weight-loss drugs are here to stay.

This week we’re joined by health journalist and Radio National presenter Tegan Taylor.
