Issue Date: | 12-Oct-2022 | Date: | 2022 | Publication information: | Public health research & practice 2022; 32(3): 3232220 | Abstract: | Efforts to prevent and treat obesity need to be grounded in science. A historical focus on individual responsibility has been ineffective in halting the rise in obesity prevalence. There needs to be a better understanding of environmental and biological drivers of weight gain to help reduce weight bias and stigma and identify more effective policies for action. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/31053 | DOI: | 10.17061/phrp3232220 | Journal: | Public health research & practice | PubMed URL: | 36220556 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Obesity |
