Design Role In Prevent & Overcome Obesity Prevelance
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
in last decade , the main concern for the w orld in general w as about public health. Efforts were focused on controlling a spread of diseases as health costs have become the biggest single expenditure in all societies according to world health organization . The effort in controlling disea ses were in providing clean water, improving the infrastructure, distribution of vaccines , improving the indoor air quality (IAQ), little was mentioned about obesity and its relation to many chronic diseases afterwards such as heart disease, blood pressure , sugar etc . , these diseases can be moderated by incorporating and adapting physical activity in people's lifestyle . Previous studies showed that obesity is a result of unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, food price, income inequality, and change of life style without mentioning the role of built environment. Therefore, this research will discuss the correlation between the built environment and obesity (see figure 1).
