Journal ArticleDOI
The global obesity pandemic: shaped by global drivers and local environments
Boyd Swinburn,Gary Sacks,Kevin D. Hall,Klim McPherson,Diane T. Finegood,Marjory Moodie,Steven L. Gortmaker +6 more
TL;DR: Unlike other major causes of preventable death and disability, such as tobacco use, injuries, and infectious diseases, there are no exemplar populations in which the obesity epidemic has been reversed by public health measures, which increases the urgency for evidence-creating policy action, with a priority on reduction of the supply-side drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Syndemic of Obesity, Undernutrition, and Climate Change: The Lancet Commission report

TL;DR: This work aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, which aims to provide real-time information about concrete mechanical properties such as E-modulus and compressive strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of the effect of energy imbalance on bodyweight
Kevin D. Hall,Gary Sacks,Dhruva Chandramohan,Carson C. Chow,Y. Claire Wang,Steven L. Gortmaker,Boyd Swinburn +6 more
TL;DR: A mathematical modelling approach to adult human metabolism that simulates energy expenditure adaptations during weight loss and presents a web-based simulator for prediction of weight change dynamics, showing that the bodyweight response to a change of energy intake is slow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased food energy supply is more than sufficient to explain the US epidemic of obesity.
TL;DR: Increased energy intake appears to be more than sufficient to explain weight gain in the US population, and population approaches to reducing obesity should emphasize a reduction in the drivers of increased energy intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
INFORMAS (International Network for Food and Obesity/non-communicable diseases Research, Monitoring and Action Support): overview and key principles
Boyd Swinburn,Boyd Swinburn,Gary Sacks,Stefanie Vandevijvere,Shiriki K. Kumanyika,Tim Lobstein,Bruce Neal,Simon Barquera,Sharon Friel,Corinna Hawkes,Bridget Kelly,Mary R. L’Abbé,Amanda Lee,J. Ma,J. Macmullan,Sailesh Mohan,Carlos Augusto Monteiro,Mike Rayner,David Sanders,Wendy Snowdon,Wendy Snowdon,Chris Walker +21 more
TL;DR: Through monitoring and benchmarking, INFORMAS will strengthen the accountability systems needed to help reduce the burden of obesity, NCDs and their related inequalities.
