Tackle global health challenges (e.g. obesity and sedentary behaviour) through developing, evaluating and implementing complex interventions.

[World Obesity @WorldObesity]

🌍 Neglecting obesity in the 2025 NCD agenda will leave one billion people behind.

Our latest BMJ Opinion sounds the alarm: obesity is a chronic, complex disease - and a major driver of other NCDs - yet remains marginal in the draft UN High-Level Meeting Political Declaration.

This is our chance to change course. Governments must:
✅ Recognise obesity as a disease
✅ Implement WHO recommendations to improve food environments
✅ Integrate prevention and treatment into primary care

We have #4BillionReasons to act. The cost of inaction is too high.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

As the fourth high level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on non-communicable diseases approaches, Bai Li and colleagues warn that failing to tackle obesity will set back progress

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

"The draft political declaration of the 2025 UN General Assembly high level meeting on the prevention and control of NCDs falls short in confronting the obesity crisis."

The declaration must not leave the one billion people living with obesity behind

Supporting theme of @WorldObesityDay, @BoydSwinburn and I published the iceberg of obesity system: conceptualise 4 levels of interventions through systems thinking, shows that most of the systems is below the surface - change the systems! https://t.co/kzNZ0XqwLO

Entirely preventable, the result of neglecting the true systemic causes...

World-first research by @DrBaiLi from @UoBrisSPS shows innovative regulations to reduce sedentary behaviour among children are proving effective. Check out @cbbc’s fun story 👇

China regulates online games providers, schools and tutoring businesses - has led to 50 mins reduction/day in total sedentary behaviour among pupils. ENERGISE natural experiment findings using representative, longitudinal surveillance data https://t.co/CS0oyCUp2X
