Social Determinants of Obesity
General social determinants of obesity include socioeconomic status, education, access to healthy foods, and the built environment. Poorer communities not only have limited access to nutritious foods but also lack safe places to exercise and healthy resources. These factors have been shown to contribute to higher obesity rates independently. Cultural norms, stress, and conditions of employment also affect eating behavior and physical activity. The IOMC places a strong emphasis on the role of social determinants in obesity and, therefore, encourages discussion on public health policies related to community-based interventions that are multi-sectoral in approach, given the broader influences of society at large on obesity.
