Obesity, public health, environment, and health expenditures worldwide

What is it about?

In order to investigate the public health and environmental implications of obesogenic severity in populations worldwide, this study looks at the associations between the obesogenic environment’s implications for public health, the environment, and health care expenditures. This study was motivated by the need to view the obesogenic problem as having strong economic and environmental, as well as social and public health, implications. Therefore, the arguments and evidence presented here reinforce the idea that the obesogenic problem both directly and indirectly affects the main dimensions of sustainability worldwide.

Why is it important?

This study aims to present both theoretical and practical contributions to this topic. The theoretical implications focus on the need to advance our understanding of the complexity of food security dimensions and their implications for sustainable development issues and concepts. The complex ecological perspective still deserves attention. The practical implications focus on helping policy makers develop policies to manage the environmental, societal and economic impacts of the obesogenic environment.
