BROADCAST 24th Jan 2019 | DURATION : 2 MINUTES 28 SEC Thin people are that way due to their genes, new study suggests. Slim people are lean as the result of genetic advantage and not always because they're more disciplined when it comes to portion control, according to a new study.

BROADCAST 26th April 2018 | DURATION : 1 HOUR Documentary which looks at the latest scientific research on obesity. A combination of fast food culture and genes have led to our expanding waistlines, but Chris Bavin reveals how small changes can help us all maximize our chances of keeping trim. The programme shows how a simple piece of string can tell you how healthy you are, when the best time to eat is, and how our gut bacteria may keep us skinny. Plus we meet cutting-edge researchers who hope to solve obesity with a simple injection.

BROADCAST 29th May 2013 | DURATION : 3 MINUTES The UK's leading biomedical research funders are joining forces to confront what many now regard as the epidemic of obesity. A quarter of the UK population is now clinically obese, and it is estimated that figure will rise to more than 50 per cent by the middle of the century. The Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Council's plans to pump £24m into a new "Metabolic Diseases Unit" in Cambridge that will pull together existing expertise on the City's biomedical science campus, and fund further research.

BROADCAST 16th November 2011 | DURATION : 30 MINUTES When leptin failed to be a wonder solution to obesity, this hormone produced by fat cells, disappeared from the headlines. Twenty years on scientists now believe leptin is critical to how the body works, regulating appetite, the immune response, inflammation and depression. Vivienne Parry investigates.
