Ramping up policy measures in the area of physical activity

摘要

Public health and sector partners are gaining traction through increased public support of physical activity promotion. More and more evidence shows that thepolicies developed can be evaluated and that they are working. At the same time, a gap exists in enforcing and monitoring the policies that are currently in place. By continuing to work on evidence-based policies related to both nutrition and physical activity, members of the public health system can work together synergistically to reverse obesity trends and the negative societal consequences that result from it.
