Intersectional inequality in general and central obesity: cross-sectional UK Biobank study
A large proportion of variation in general and central obesity is due to intersectional inequality, with up to 26.5% being interactive. It is important that these intersectional effects are considered when designing policy interventions to avoid policy failure, such as by focussing on groups with high total and interactive risk.
