European Charter on Counteracting ObesityIn a brief, clear and easily accessible way, this summary illustrates the dynamics of the obesity epidemic and its impact on public health throughout the WHO European Region, particularly in eastern countries. It describes how factors that increase the risk of obesity are shaped in different settings, such as the family, school, community and workplace. It makes both ethical and economic arguments for accelerating action against obesity, and analyses effective programmes and policies in different government sectors, such as education, health, agriculture and trade, urban planning and transportObesityPreventionEuropeMetabolismDisordersObesityPreventionMetabolismDisorders.362.196/398Branca Francesco1618718Nikogosian Haik1618719Lobstein Tim1618720World Health Organization.Regional Office for Europe.WHO European Ministerial Conference on Counteracting Obesity(2006 :Istanbul, Turkey)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817894703321The challenge of obesity in the WHO European region and the strategies for response3950608UNINA
