Brief description A Model and Segmentation of Household Obesogenicity in Australia. Critical to reducing obesity is reduced consumption of energy dense foods and increasing physical activity. This project provides greater insight into relationships between environment, household obesogenicity and consumer behaviour, and an improved basis for policy development regarding obesity prevention. National benefits are; Less obesity and other nutritionally related diseases and therefore reduced treatment costs in the health sector; Reduced demand for unhealthy foods and greater demand for higher quality products boosting product innovation and supporting Australia's competitiveness in the global markets; Greater health benefits among the low SES parts of the population contributing to creation of equity in Australian health.
