SOCIETAL DISSEMINATION INITIATIVES:
Most groups have actively collaborated in the tasks of disseminating results to society . They have done this by disclosing scientific advances obtained and their importance for the population in a simple and reasonable manner for the general public through print press and audiovisual mass media, as well as by being available to discuss topics from their area of specialization when the CIBERobn Communication team has requested . Particularly, the findings of the Villarroya, Diéguez, Tinahones and Fernández-Real group have had abundant media coverage on the TV, radio and press in prime time news broadcasts and with considerable media repercussion . In addition, in a collaboration between the European Association for the Study of Obesity, SEEN, SEEDO and CIBERobn, the general population was alerted as to the importance of obesity both for individuals directly affected by the disease and its associated complications and for society as a whole due to the enormous cost it involves in relation to employment and health .
