Art breaks obesity's health information silos

Lu Zhang et al. Trends Endocrinol Metab. .

Abstract

Conventional obesity interventions create 'health information silos', isolating scientific knowledge from lived experience and systemic drivers. Artistic interventions can uniquely dismantle these silos by translating complex data into visceral, co-created experiences, connecting urban design, behavioral science, and community action to transform obesogenic systems into equitable health ecosystems.

Keywords: artistic interventions; health information silo; metabolic urbanism; obesity epidemic.
