> Despite reported areas of decline, no country has reversed its obesity epidemic. Researchers increasingly believe that governments and stakeholders should act urgently to decrease the prevalence of obesity, including childhood obesity. Papers in the new Lancet series, available Feb. 19, review the growing consensus on core policy actions, reasons for patchy progress, and opportunities to further obesity prevention by reframing the issue.
