Abstract
⺠We developed a model of obesity that accounts for social and environmental influences on food and physical activity. ⺠We analyzed the contributions of social and environmental influences on obesity, for synthetic and real-world populations. ⺠Our results suggest that the structure of social ties affects the sensitivity of a population to its environment. ⺠We found that the sensitivity of a population to its environment does not only depend on high-level properties.
