Correlation between weight and well-being

The project will uncover the link between weight and well-being, i.e., will investigate both unhappiness as a potential cause of overweight and overweight being a potential cause of the failure to thrive. One aim of the project is also to investigate whether well-being can be a protective factor against high weight.
