La obesidad infantil en Latinoamérica y en las poblaciones latinas de Estados Unidos es un problema de salud pública complejo y persistente y, como tal, requiere soluciones basadas en la teoría y los métodos de la ciencia de sistemas. En este artículo presentamos un marco conceptual orientado a la acción para diseñar, implementar, evaluar y mantener cambios sistémicos comunitarios con el fin de prevenir...
Childhood obesity in US Latinx and Latin American populations is a persistent, complex public health issue and, as such, requires solutions grounded on systems science theory and methods. In this paper, we introduce an action‐oriented framework to design, implement, evaluate, and sustain whole‐of‐community systems changes for childhood obesity prevention in US Latinx and Latin American populations...
Introduction Most interventions aiming to promote leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) at population level showed small or null effects. Approaching the problem from a systems science perspective may shed light on the reasons for these results. We developed an agent-based model to explore how the interactions between psychological attributes and built and social environments may lead to the emergence...
Despite the increasing body of evidences on the factors influencing leisure-time physical activity, our understanding of the mechanisms and interactions that lead to the formation and evolution of population patterns is still limited. Moreover, most frameworks in this field fail to capture dynamic processes. Our aim was to create a dynamic conceptual model depicting the interaction between key psychological...
