Abstract
With global obesity on the rise, the need for research concerning the complexity of risk factors is more important than ever. While the increase of the high-calorie, low-nutrient food supply correlates with rising weights, new studies across disciplines reveal the intricacy of the environmental and circumstantial phenomena that influence obesity rates and behaviors for at-risk individuals. AIMS Public Health is pleased to present this special issue entitled “Obesity and Food Intake in Vulnerable Populations” in support of this research. This edition contains two research reviews, a research study, and a brief report related to obesity and human behavior.
