Abstract
Obesity, a preventable chronic disease, is becoming a serious health problem in all age groups due to the indulgence in a sedentary lifestyle. As a result, the population is at a risk of developing several obesity-related disorders, which in turn is likely to create a huge public health burden for developing nations shortly. With the rise in obesity trends across the population, it is necessary to target the different phases of life to tackle obesity problem. After schoolchildren, college students are the appropriate targets for interventions as their lives are in a transitional phase. Even if individual behavior changes are made, this alone is not likely to result in improved health and quality of life without an environment that enables sustenance of those changes. Therefore, all the interventions must take oneÂ’s socio-ecological system that shapes behavior into consideration in creating health-promoting programs.
