futures studies and analysis of obesity prevention in children and adolescents policies in Iran and providing policy options

Abstract

Lack of manpower, insufficient attention to physical education curriculum in schools and improper use of facilities in organizations such as the Ministry of Education and the Sports and Youth Organization, as well as the existence of obesogenic environments in the community were other problems identified. Structural barriers and facilitators in prevention policies as well as drivers affecting the prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity in Iran can be considered and used in macro policy and policy decisions. It is expected that the policy options that are the result of two review studies, policy analysis and futures study of child and adolescent obesity prevention policies in this study, can be used in national policies to prevent children and adolescent obesity for years to come and be effective in reducing the prevalence of obesity in the future.
