A Lancet Commission on obesity

The Lancet "The global pandemic of obesity continues unabated: 2·7 billion adults are projected to be overweight or have obesity by 2025. Obesity is driving global increases in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and several types of cancer, yet the implementation of recommended policies to reduce obesity has been slow and patchy. To address these issues, The Lancet has established a Commission on Obesity to provide a multidisciplinary platform to contribute to accountability systems for action and to critically analyse the systemic drivers of, and solutions for, obesity."
