Our varied offer was well received by numerous visitors throughout the evening. At our stations we offered the possibility to put on our obesity suits incl. weight vests to get an insight into a life with obesity and to sensitize for it. Furthermore, it was possible to try out different examinations, which are carried out within the framework of our clinical studies, such as the measurement of the body composition or the blood circulation of the vessels in the hands. Our colleagues from the Leipzig study team of the DZD provided extensive information about type 2 diabetes and determined one's own risk of developing the disease. At the station of the CRC 1052 "Obesity Mechanisms", visitors learned about hidden sugars and the colleagues from the nutrition team of the University of Leipzig Medical Center provided insight into the nutrition therapy of the obesity program.
Considering the number of visitors and the feedback on site, the Long Night of Sciences 2023 was a complete success and we are already looking forward to the next one in 2025!
