Includes bibliographical references (p. 203-244). The aetiology of obesity is complex, and in addition to intrinsic factors such as the biology of individuals (presented as genetics, age, gender) that contribute to the high obesity epidemic, there are behavioural determinants, along with economic, socio-cultural and environmental factors which are largely extrinsic, that either directly or indirectly influence the development of obesity, therefore are called “obesogenic” (Swinburn et al., 2005; Egger and Swinburn, 1997). In South Africa, these “obesogenic” factors have been only partially explored, and as such, there are gaps in our knowledge. We are also not certain of the extent to which the language, culture and age influence these afore-mentioned factors. As such, this dissertation focused on finding and adapting culturallysensitive and age-appropriate instruments to better understand these obesogenic factors in South African women and girls. 2014-07-28T18:17:26Z 2014-07-28T18:17:26Z 2008 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3266 eng application/pdf Department of Human Biology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
