Researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Ben Gurion University , Israel , studied 761 people with abdominal obesity in Israel who participated in three workplace-based nutrition clinical trials.

Participants showed significant improvements in cardiometabolic markers, including higher HDL cholesterol (the healthy type of cholesterol) and lower levels of leptin (the hormone that signals hunger), and less visceral fat.

We research the many factors influencing health and collaborate widely to translate those insights into policies, programs, and practices that prevent disease and promote well-being for people around the world. We also educate thousands of public health leaders a year through our degree programs, postdoctoral training, fellowships, and continuing education courses. Founded in 1913 as America ’s first professional training program in public health, the School continues to have an extraordinary impact in fields ranging from infectious disease to environmental justice to health systems and beyond..
