The Upstream Determinants of Adult Obesity
Obes Facts.
2017.
Abstract
Over-consumption of high-energy foods and a lack of physical activity are the main behavioural risk factors for people to develop obesity. These behaviours are influenced by a range of individual-level factors which are nested within contexts that contain influencing characteristics further upstream. In this paper, we define these upstream determinants. We also provide a historical background, summarise the current evidence base regarding these determinants across various types of environments and put them in perspective.
Keywords: Adults; Dietary behaviours; Obesity; Physical activity; Upstream determinants.
