A blueprint to halve obesity in the UK | Healthy life | Nesta

Poor health caused by excess weight is one of the leading causes of death across the UK. Since the early 1990s, obesity rates have doubled, blighting people’s lives and putting huge pressure on our NHS as well as damaging our economy through lost productivity.

Up until now there has been no way to compare the likely impact and implementation costs of different ways to reduce obesity. Alongside leading UK academics, researchers at Nesta have created a blueprint toolkit for halving obesity.
