This year’s 45 and Up Study Collaborators’ meeting attracted widespread media coverage, with news outlets including The Guardian, Huffington Post, SBS News and Nine TV News and news.com.au reporting on findings that being overweight but active won’t prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes. Another presentation on the cost of treating lifestyle-related illnesses was covered by the ABC Radio World Today program, while ABC News 24 interviewed Study Scientific Director Professor Emily Banks about the impact of the 45 and Up Study.
