- Interventions to reduce body weight at the individual level often have little efficacy, except bariatric surgery. Therefore, weight control interventions should focus on the societal causes of the obesogenic environment and include interventions in all sectors (e.g. education, agriculture, finance, transports, nutrition, food industry, etc.) to enable people to choose healthier diets, including adequate food labeling, tax/subsidies on healthy/unhealthy foods; ban on advertising of unhealthy foods, healthy food in canteens in schools/workplaces. Multisectoral interventions should also address the structural environment to help people engage in more physical activity in their daily lives (e.g. bus/cycling lanes, safe sidewalks, promotion of public transports, disincentives to use private cars, etc.)
