Obesity is on the rise in Australia. Are the reasons behind this growth lifestyle-related, environmental, genetic or a combination of the three?


Through personal stories and scientific insight SBS's three-part documentary series The Obesity Myth challenges our misconceptions about obesity as a lifestyle choice.

The series follows the work of Melbourne's Austin Health which treats obesity as a disease largely driven by genetics.

Last part of the series tonight, Monday 18  September at 7.30pm on SBS.
