吸烟和肥胖是全球最重要的两个健康风险因素。关于烟草消费的更广泛的全球决定因素，如贸易自由化1、烟草的全球营销2和走私，已有大量证据。这导致全球公共卫生界作出全面反应，最终制定了《烟草控制框架公约》。乍一看，食物的消费与烟草的消费有很大的不同。毕竟，食物不是致命的产品，人们每天都需要吃东西来满足基本的生理需求。也许这就是为什么对营养过剩的公共卫生反应在很大程度上是基于个人需要改变他们的行为。但这种方法通常是无效的。我们认为，对营养过剩的更广泛的全球决定因素的分析将导致更全面和有效的全球应对。
Smoking and obesity are two of the most important global health risk factors. Extensive evidence is available on the broader global determinants of tobacco consumption such as trade liberalisation, 1 the global marketing of tobacco, 2 and smuggling. 3 This has led to a comprehensive response from the global public health community, culminating in the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. At first glance the consumption of food is very different from that of tobacco. After all, food is not a deadly product and people need to eat every day to satisfy basic physiological requirements. Perhaps this is why the public health response to overnutrition has been largely based on the need for individuals to change their behaviour. But this approach is generally ineffective. 4 We argue that an analysis of the broader global determinants of overnutrition will lead to a more comprehensive and effective global response.
