Section 1: INTRODUCTION
Wicked or messy problems holds high importance for analyzing new conventional
approaches to problem solving, by evolving towards it in variedly innovative format and heading
towards specific functional scenarios. Obesity has been found as one of the major public health
issue having social determinants correlated towards income, employment, climate and
development in living aspects within individuals. The report will examine characteristics
explanation of problems raised within wicked or messy problems, and functionally building rise
towards wicked or messy problems. Study will also further in detail bring explanation of
problems raised within obesity impact on social determinants, and further heading on towards
rapid scale diversification prospects.
Section 2: Problem Classification
Characteristics of problems and rating them against wicked or messy problems
Wicked problem: The social and cultural problem which has four reasons based on incomplete
and contradictory knowledge, where interconnected problems are further analyzed to be solved
on for strengthened working engagement parameters.
Factors which have implemented rise on wicked problem reasons and causes are as follows:
 Employment: The obesity has imposed strong impact on costs in the form of productivity
decline in economic growth parameters, based upon stringent determinants correlated
towards specific working scenarios. Obesity has severe impact on employment aspects
variedly by bringing on new strengthened decline in living scenarios, leveraging specific

impact on living horizons variedly based upon keen working engagement. Also with
increasing health risks factors, employment factors are rapidly impacted on varied
grounds which keenly leverages significant decline in living habits among determinants
associated. Employment, has been rapidly declining in obese people around world where
health scenarios and untapped living habits have also reduced overall wellness within
people in world.
 Living habits: As per Bosy‐Westphal and Müller (2021), living habits have high specific
impact on bringing rise towards eating disorders and health issue of obesity, where
functional decline in living habits have strong impact on overall health factors declined.
Excess lethargic living habits, improper food and drinking habits have led to increase in
obesity parameters significantly where living habits have to be monitored significantly.
Obesity has serious health impact on living standards within people leading to evolved
rise on obesity and unhealthy living conditions, where overweight issues is known to be
one of the most significant aspect known. Deprivation of healthy diet ad low levels of
physical activity, has reduced efficiency scenarios where determinants have strong
correlation with significant aspects with obesity. Increasing health risk factors and
declined living habits have been found to have high correlation towards declined living
habits, decreased functional specifics. Living habits have profound impact on obesity
aspects, where it further reduces operational efficiency variedly on towards significant
parameters.
Section 3: Treating the problem
Potential structure 2
Secton 1: Core message
As per the views of Pérez-Cruz and et.al (2021), obesity health issue has been risen and found as
one of the major health issue, against wicked or messy problems correlating to social
determinants of health such as income, employment, quality living standards and scope of
interests practically. Obesity social factors include stress factors, lack of nutrition and
physical determinants including environment parameters, lack of physical activities and
worksite settings. It is also significantly correlated with overweight issue, where awareness
creation among people has to be further emphasized variedly. Characteristics of wicked
problems when correlated with obesity issues, enable us to examine focus on aspects where

characteristics such as health risk, disparity in living standards and overall wellness
productivity within lives around world. Obesity has high correlation with living
prerequisites, specific knowledge parameters and keen arenas where fast forward living
practices decline has led to health issue rise variedly.
As noted by Bosello and Vanzo (2021), there is high integral role between relationship in
body weight, food consumption and environment place where measured body mass index
and consumption of fast foods leads to obesity. Obesity has been found as one of the most
prominent health issue in UK, where exposure among domains correlated to work are
heading on primitively for declining people health standards. The greatest effect can be also
analyzed by enhancing active focus towards odds of obesity and body mass index
relationship, where maximum impact has been seen in young age people. Also with
changing functional aspects correlated with food environment, it can be also understood that
food environment has strong impact on people obesity parameters. UK has been witnessing
high rise on unhealthy food habits among young age people, with increased upsurge in
people unhealthy habits within livelihood.
Section 2: Recommendations
The wicked problem can be further improved and worked on by analyzing aspects where health
issues correlated to reduction in wealth should be focused on, where taking up physical
treatments and health checkups helps people
Section 3: Key reasons: Justification of problem classification
 As per the views of Makar and et.al (2021), obesity and overweight, has major impact on
people lives standards within living habits and proper health standards where
determinants correlated are variedly expanding towards functional decline goals. Wicked
or messy problem such as obesity, has also impacted in dietary food habits decline which
has resulted in bringing decline among living habits among people. Overweight and
obesity has also further declined efficiency grounds, based upon specific living
parameters, where UK and US have largest numbers of obese within communities for
strengthened decline in health issues.

 As noted by Ayalon, Bodilly and Kaplan (2021), obesity and overweight issues have
declined overall functional standards within living scenarios among people around world.
Determinants related with physical and social sanctioned arenas have functional impact
on increasing health risk factors variedly among people. UK and US, has been rapidly
seeing an upsurge in people with health issues, and also in declined proper conditions
which has further been found reducing efficiency scenarios rapidly. Overweight and
obesity issues, as one of the most wicked problem has been found to be reducing health
standards among people where correlated functional parameters have specific aspects.
Section 4: Context
Some of the major aspects and reasons are as follows:
 Physical activity: As per the views of Kutty and Elengoe, (2021), relationship between
obesity and physical activity are highly correlated, where consumption of healthy
beverages and food habits, lethargic inactive lifestyle has impacted people obesity to
increase. US and Uk are the top places around world, where living practices among
people have lowered functional efficacy within living situations. BMI has increased by
0.37% per year in both men and women respectively, with occurrence of obesity and
enlarged obesity substantially with varied scope profoundly. Physical activities have
consecutively declined recently in people, where body mass index and trends linked
enables us to examine aspects where obesity has been found as wicked problem.
 Worksite setting: Factors such as consideration to gain proper knowledge about obesity
increase, including eating behavior where leisure time physical activities have high
correlation. The measures of physical activity and dietary intake are inaccurate, as per
specific working behaviors where job stress, flexibility and work shifts are functionally
varied for new scope rise. Eating unhealthy foods results in increased body mass index
among working aspects, where knowledge correlated towards untapped diverse scenarios
have strong role for increasing obesity. This principle has implication rise evolved as per
specific functional scenario, on which messy problems and wicked problems have been
found as variedly crucial for identifying specifics.
From the above analyzed aspects, it can be understood that obesity specifically has been rapidly
reducing living specifics as obesity and overweight rapidly has increased as major health issue
found among people (Obesity and overweight, 2021).

Explanation of implications
Explanation of problems raised being wicked or messy problems
The wicked or messy problem, has been bringing rise in overall health standards within
obesity aspects variedly among people where determinants interrelated with specifics working
advancement has significantly reduced efficiency. Problems raised among wicked or messy
problems within health scenarios, has evolved towards bringing strengthened decline among
living aspects and standards through which messy problems correlated with health has increased.
 Wicked or messy problem rise correlated with health aspects have evolved towards
bringing declined standards, where health standards have significantly declined recently
in major parts around world. Obesity has evolved as one of the major issue, found in
healthcare and significant grounds where functional declined standards among people has
resulted in decreased efficiency aspects. Wicked or messy problems have also given rise
to varied structured grounds issues, where explanation can be also analyzed to be wicked
or messy problem.
Section 4: CONCLUSION
The above analysed aspects within report has summed up in detail, varied
horizons based upon signficant horizons correlated towards obesity which has been found as
major messy problem vividly. Study has concluded varied issues and determinants correlated
with increased helath risk paradigms,where obesity has led to decline in people living
parameters. Research has also concluded that implications of overweight, obesity has declined
people living habits, health prerequisites significantly on variois grounds. Study further
concluded obesity as major wicked problem among people, based upon working grounds
towards declined living habits and connections for heading decline diversely.
