Abstract:
:Childhood obesity is a global public health concern in developed and developing countries. Approximately 3 in 10 Panamanian children suffer from obesity, and overweight/obesity is responsible for the highest number of premature or avoidable deaths in this country. A formative community assessment and exploration of the built food environment was conducted. Analysis suggests that almost one-third of the children measured were overweight or obese, and the availability of foods recommended for optimal health is limited in this community. Actionable recommendations for intervention and future collaboration were provided, and stakeholders from all groups will continue to explore opportunities.
