Systems thinking in public health Interrelation diagraph of obesity SAMPLE National University   This interrelation diagraph represents some of the most prominent issues that are linked to the rise of obesity. The two most frequently discussed causes of obesity are unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. As a healthy weight is maintained through a balance of energy intake and expenditure (as cited in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2017) , excess energy intake due to lack of physical activity, high-caloric malnutritional diet, or a combination of both may contribute to weight gain and obesity. Physical inactivity among adults in modern day America may be attributed to modern lifestyle of increased office-style jobs and duties, increased sedentary recreational activities, and excessive workload. All of these factors may reduce heavy loads on the bodies but they also reduce energy expense in overall (Harvard Men's Health Watch, 2012). In addition, unhealthy diet of high caloric food, caused by low socioeconomic status, and modern work schedule is also linked to obesity in America (Harvard Men's Health Watch, 2012; Ogden, Lamb, Carroll, & Flegal, 2010). Other reasons such as smoking cessation, illnesses, or inadequate sleep can also be attributed to changes in the society and the modern lifestyle that requires individual to be more productive regardless of personal wellbeing. There are more factors that can directly and indirectly affect the obesity prevalence in the US but overall, it is a complex situation where multi-dimensional factors are interacting with each other and ultimate create this public health issue.   References Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
