A new study aims to explore children and adolescents' language use regarding weight and body image.

How do children and adolescents talk about weight and body image? And what experiences are attributed to the different words used for weight and body image? This is something the Center for Healthy Life & Well-being wants to explore further. That’s why we have launched a new study.

About us

Our vision is
to promote healthy weight and well-being for all children and young people - where everyone, regardless of social background, can achieve and maintain a healthy weight and well-being.

Our strategic focus areas are
'weight mystery,' 'ideal municipality,' and 'body culture,' which concern the causes of high weight, broad collaborations, weight stigma and children's body image.

Our mission is
to make a significant contribution to reducing the incidence of high weight and increasing the well-being of children and young people in Denmark.

We work for a healthy childhood in well-being
