A study led by McMaster University researchers and published in CMAJ shows the prevalence of obesity in Canada increased faster in the four years after the start of the pandemic compared to the previous 11 years, especially in younger adults.
Adults over 50 living with obesity were more likely to experience stressors during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite being less likely to perceive the pandemic’s consequences as negative, says a McMaster University-led study.
Three McMaster University researchers will lead new projects analyzing data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), after a funding announcement by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Canadian Space Agency and the Quebec Network for Research on Aging.
