This report presents the visual representations of the obesity system map developed to understand the wide range of different factors that influence levels of obesity and how they interact.

The accompanying report includes a full description of the methodology used to create these maps and guidance on how to interpret them.

This report was commissioned as part of the Foresight project on tackling obesities.
