As noted in the press, the Lancet devotes an issue to the matter of obesity, epidemiology and chronic disease, with four articles and some commentaries. Along with a global overview of the situation, there's also an analysis of UK and US trends, looking in particular at the economic burden. A third paper showcases a new web-based bodyweight simulation model, while the final paper argues that although interventions to halt the obesity epidemic may well be required at several levels, governments should be taking the lead.
