Abstract
Worldwide, obesity rates have more than doubled during the past three decades. Women experience twice the obesity prevalence as men, and women of color, with less education, and in lower income levels disproportionately affected. Obesity and its comorbidities result in considerable economic burdens for the individual and society. Given the widespread prevalence of obesity, the potential effect on individual and population health, and associated costs, policy solutions targeting obesity prevention and interventions must be explored.
