This project gathered scientific evidence from across a wide range of disciplines to inform a strategic view of obesity in the UK to produce a long-term vision of how to deliver a sustainable response over the next 40 years.
Project Objectives:
- to use the scientific evidence base from across a wide range of disciplines to identify the broad range of factors that influence obesity, looking beyond the obvious
- to create a shared understanding of the relationships between key factors influencing levels of obesity and their relative importance
- to build on this evidence to identify effective interventions
- to analyse how future levels of obesity might change and the most effective future responses
Of particular interest is the use of systems thinking and scenario planning in this project. The diagram shows complex relationships between well over 100 data elements.
