Cafe Scientifique: Is Canada Ignoring Obesity in Men?
Feb 15
CIHR Café Scientifique presents:
Is Canada Ignoring Obesity in Men?
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
This event is free, but space is limited.
Please email to RSVP
More men than women live with excess weight in Canada, and yet when we hear statistics about rising obesity levels these gender trends are often overlooked. Why are men affected by obesity more than women, and why do we talk about it less? Is biology to blame? As a society, are we more willing to accept obesity in men? And are they getting the help they need?
Join moderator Mark Connolly of CBC News Edmonton and a panel comprised of some of Canada’s top researchers and health professionals, together with a patient sharing his experience, to discuss what’s driving the issue, and what can be done about it.
Featured speakers
Dr. Kim Raine, Professor, School of Public Health, University of Alberta
Dr. Daniel Birch, Professor, Department of Surgery, University of Alberta
J. Jacque E. Lovely, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Alberta Health Services Provincial Bariatric Resource Team
Marty Enokson, Patient and advocate
Hosted by the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health and the Canadian Obesity Network
