PhD Title: The experience of Weight Cycling South Asians with Type-2 Diabetes in London.
Muhammad’s PhD focus on exploring the experience of weight cycling South Asians with type 2 diabetes. Evidence reveals that 80% of treated obese patients regain weight to baseline within five years of follow-up. Weight cycling may have a more detrimental effect than weight maintenance. Studies indicate weight cycling increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease by 10%. He is currently carrying out mixed-method research to explore the experience of this ethnic minority group. The result of his study is aimed at improving the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
