Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents an ecological perspective on obesity drawing on papers presented at the Ecology of Obesity Conference held at the College of Human Ecology at Cornell University. The conference presentations examined obesity through the life course perspective and two disciplinary orientations: design and economics. In this paper, the presentations are focused through Bronfenbrenner's ecology of human development. Particular attention is paid to identifying people, times, and places of vulnerability and leverage points–points of influence in a lifetime, environments, and policies that may be targets for effective intervention to prevent obesity.
