Obesity Risk And Comorbidities Among Colombians In New York City And In Colombia, Carlos A. Devia
Dissertations and Theses
Introduction: The prevalence of obesity and overweight in adults and children continues to increase worldwide, accounting for the mortality and morbidity from several diseases.

By identifying lessons for Latin American states and advocating for regional cooperation, the research aims to strengthen the position of indigenous peoples in international climate negotiations …
