Research in DanORC now includes all components of nutrition and other determinants related to the development of obesity. Up till now DanORC research has had focus on TFA, PUFA or milk proteins and their influence on the development of obesity independent of the caloric value, but in April 2009 the Programme Commision on Health, Food and Welfare approved the expansion of research activities in DanORC. This allows for new aspects in DanORC research such as physical activity, chronic inflammation and molecular profils.
