鉴于促进人口体重增加的强大力量，肥胖流行病不能仅仅通过促进个人行为改变来扭转。政策措施可能会减少促进体重增加的生物和经济力量的影响，或提供抵制这些力量的动机。不幸的是，几乎没有什么信息可以充分评价所建议的许多政策。本综述的目的是讨论政策的潜在用途，以遏制全球肥胖症的流行。
Given the powerful forces promoting population weight gain, the obesity epidemic cannot be reversed solely by promoting individual behavior change. Policy initiatives might lessen the impact of the biological and economical forces promoting weight gain or provide motivation to resist these forces. Unfortunately, there is little information to adequately evaluate the many policies that have been suggested. The intent of this review is to discuss the potential use of policy to stem the global epidemic of obesity.
