The Danish Obesity Research Centre

______________________________________________________________________________

Science is about understanding a phenomenon better in order to approve and approach it in better and more constructive ways. Thus the research in the Danish Obesity Research Center targets obesity and approach it under a number of different scientific perspectives. It is the aim of the Danish Obesity Research Center to bring understanding as to why obesity has grown to become an epidemic and what to do about it.
