Preferred term

policy to prevent obesity  

Definition

  • Policies designed to prevent obesity are based in a public health prevention model of disease prevention. Unlike public policies aimed at treating obesity (i.e., by reducing body mass index [BMI]), obesity prevention policies seek to stop people from becoming obese in the first place and to prevent people who are already overweight or obese from gaining more weight. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Policy to Prevent Obesity]
