Abstract

There is a complex interplay of multiple factors across numerous domains underlying obesity and the emergence of the global health problem known as the double burden of malnutrition (DBM), where people are both obese and malnourished. Moreover, there is inequity in the burden of obesity and DBM, with higher rates of both in low-income communities, which comprise predominantly people of color (both in the U.S. and internationally). This article aims to provide an integrated overview of the different causes and effects of obesity and its impact on the family unit. Importantly, we examine broader influences, such as the environmentally unsustainable transnational food system, the rise of ultra-processed foods, and the structural barriers that keep communities of color at the highest risk for obesity and DBM. The review includes recommendations for future research, specifically how to implement more environmentally sustainable food systems at the community and family levels.

超加工食品、肥胖和营养不良的双重负担:环境、社会经济和家庭层面对全球健康的影响
肥胖和被称为营养不良双重负担的全球健康问题(即人们既肥胖又营养不良)的出现背后是众多领域中多种因素的复杂相互作用。此外,肥胖和DBM的负担也不公平,在以有色人种为主的低收入社区(无论是在美国还是在国际上),这两种疾病的发病率都较高。这篇文章的目的是提供一个综合的概述不同的原因和肥胖的影响及其对家庭单位的影响。重要的是,我们研究了更广泛的影响,例如环境不可持续的跨国食品系统,超加工食品的兴起,以及使有色人种群体处于肥胖和DBM风险最高的结构性障碍。该审查包括对未来研究的建议,特别是如何在社区和家庭层面实施更具环境可持续性的粮食系统。
