Abstract:
Obesity has become a global public health problem that seriously threatens population health. The Chinese government has attached great importance to prevent and control the negative impacts of obesity on individuals, families and society. China has established a policy system for obesity, and made certain achievements in behavioral intervention, drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and surgical treatment. This study summarizes the prevention and treatment experience of obesity in China in order to provide reference for African countries to better formulate prevention and treatment strategies for obesity in line with their local context.
