Preferred term

community programs to prevent obesity  

Definition

  • The primary modifiable causes of obesity are poor nutrition and lack of physical inactivity. Community characteristics can contribute to obesity by raising barriers to eating a healthy diet or promoting the consumption of high calorie/low nutrient density foods, and to having sufficient opportunities for regular physical activity.
