Focusing on Obesity Through a Health Equity Lens
A collection of innovative approaches and promising practices by European and international health promotion bodies to counteract obesity and improve health equity.
This report has been compiled by EuroHealthNet with the aim of producing an accessible source of ideas and inspiration for practitioners and policy makers about counteracting obesity and improving health equity. The work is funded under the Equity Channel special project of EuroHealthNet, which is part of the International Collaboration on Social Determinants of Health, initiated by the Department of Health for England.
The report:
- describes innovative approaches and promising practices to reduce obesity by health promoting bodies at local, regional, national, European and international level;
- is an identification of work where the initiatives address different socio-economic groups with a specific focus on lower socio-economic communities, and therefore contribute to reducing health inequalities;
- and is an update of the 2006 summary of action collated by EuroHealthNet.
