Launched in 2020, World Obesity Day helps raise awareness of a disease that currently affects around 1 in 5 adults in France. Although it is complex, its determinants are better and better known. However, obesity is still surrounded by a large number of received ideas. This is why this year, for the first time, the CHU of Poitiers and its partners will be mobilized during this day in order to create a space for exchange with the public and health professionals. Caregivers involved in the care of patients with obesity will be there to answer questions, and workshops on obesity will be offered on March 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Jean Bernard tower at the CHU.
Sport Santé 86 will have a stand with its smoothie bike in the hall of Jean Bernard.
