Tackling of unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and obesity: health effects and cost-effectiveness

In this report we present an assessment of public health strategies designed to tackle behavioural risk factors for chronic diseases that are closely linked with obesity, including aspects of diet and physical inactivity, in Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa.
