A virtual workshop titled Integrating Systems and Sectors Toward
Obesity Solutions, held April 6, 2020 (Part I), and June 30, 2020
(Part II), was convened by the Roundtable on Obesity Solutions,
Health and Medicine Division, National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine. The workshop introduced the concept of
complex systems and the field of systems science, and explored
systems science approaches to obesity solutions. Speakers provided
an overview of systems science theories, approaches, and
applications, highlighting examples from within and outside the
obesity field. Presentations and discussions examined complex
systems in society that have the potential to shape public health
and well-being, and considered opportunities for systems change as
they relate to obesity solutions. Specifically, the workshop
explored factors that can influence obesity - such as (in)equity,
relationships, connections, networks, capacity, power dynamics,
social determinants, and political will - and how these factors can
impact communications and cross-sector collaboration to address
obesity. This publication summarizes the presentations and
discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
