Obesogenic Environments: Evidence Review. Foresight Tackling Obesities – Long Science Review
The term 'obesogenic environment' refers to the role environmental factors may play in determining both nutrition and physical activity. Environmental factors may operate by determining the availability and consumption of different foodstuffs and the levels of physical activity undertaken by populations. This review considers the research evidence regarding the existence of obesogenic environments, placing particular emphasis on evidence from the United Kingdom.
