VETisnietVET: Studies naar het voorkomen van overmatige gewichtstoename bij jongeren
The high prevalence of overweight and obesity is an important determinant of avoidable burden of disease in the Netherlands and worldwide. Preventing excessive weight gain among children and adolescents can contribute to reducing this burden. The present thesis adds to the knowledge on obesity related risk behaviours, determinants of these risk behaviours and the prevention of excessive weight gain. In addition, this thesis evaluates the effects of FATaintPHAT, a computer-tailored intervention aimed at the prevention of excessive weight gain among adolescents. This introductory chapter provides background information to the studies presented in this thesis.
