Tackling obesity in the UK
Tackling obesity in the UK☜With concern growing that the Foresight analysis—that 50% of the UK population could be obese by 2050, at an annual cost to the nation of around £50 billion per year [2]—substantially underestimates the scale of the unfolding obesity crisis, the College of Contemporary Health is working with the wider policy community to develop a whole systems map of the obesity crisis and the potential responses.☜F1CEB7

Tackling obesity
Tackling obesity☜Many policy interventions have been suggested to address the obesity crisis across multiple studies—and indeed many such measures have been implemented, and are being implemented, now. Theres recognition too that these interventions need to be part of a coherent and comprehensive whole systems strategy [4]; with some grounds for optimism that such an approach has the potential to accomplish a significant reduction in the prevalence of obesity in the UK across the next decade.

Incentivise GPs to improve patient outcomes☜The Quality and Outcomes Framework should be amended to provide incentives for GPs to proactively offer advice to overweight and obese patients and refer them to weight management services where appropriate, rather than simply keeping a register of these patients.

Develop better pharmaceutical obesity therapies
Develop better pharmaceutical obesity therapies☜Obesity drug sales are forecast to $3.8bn globally in 2018 [2]—in comparison to $57bn for Diabetes drug sales[2]—with evidence suggesting that the modest average weight losses achieved with current anti-obesity agents may be of some clinical benefit [5]. However, the current generation of drugs, which act on the central nervous system to suppress appetite, have raised significant health concerns—including psychiatric disorders, such as suicidal behaviour, depression, and cardiovascular problems.☜5CA4D9
