Obesity defined as excessive and abnormal fat accumulation which creates risk to health.
It is a complex disease which involves excessive amount of body fat. It refers to a medical

MAIN BODY
Discuss the concepts and principles of modern public health that underpin the initiative you have
chosen
There is chosen initiative is creating awareness regarding obesity and making different
policies which can provide information and make aware to the people of United Kingdom to take
measures and initiative for their health to provide them benefit and to stay healthy. There is a
need to provide different type of awareness program regarding obesity. Government has made

different type of policies and intervention program which can provide high benefit to people of
United Kingdom for providing better health benefit. This policy and intervention program also
able to provide the information for taking healthy food to maintain a healthy body. There is need
to create different measures which should be taken for providing better health benefit to the
people of United Kingdom. In the recent time, it has been observed that due to impact of corona
virus, there was difficult for operating daily life activity and created the situation of lockdown
which force people to stay in their home for longer period. Due to staying in their home, this
make people not to do different physical activity which lead to create a accumulated of extra
calories in form of fat. This fat are accumulated and created obesity to measure population due to
corona virus impact during lockdown (Chen and et. al., 2017).
As per the concept of creating awareness within large number of population regarding
obesity which can help to create a sharing of information related with opacity which can provide
better initiative for the high population of United Kingdom. This can provide enough information
related with health concern for large population for maintaining their Physical health and staying
away from the obesity. By creating awareness, government of the United Kingdom can provide
the information to the large population related with their health condition and also able to
influence population for get aware towards their Physical health. By creating awareness program,
government can share different data which can provide the information to their large population
to that can lead to help them to avoid obesity and maintaining their physical health by using
different techniques. These techniques are generally eating healthy food, maintaining physical
exercise, different activity and eating less food or less calorie food and many more. There is also
need to avoid oily food or junk food which can lead to create accumulation of high calories as a
form of fat which can lead to create obesity in large population. It has been observed that UK is
fighting against corona virus infection and due to facing different health related issues by large
number of population, it is creating negative impact on delivering of effective healthcare services
to the large population. This create problem for healthcare professional to fight against corona
virus and to save their large number of population from the negative impact of virus (Christnsen
and et. al., 2018).
Due to accumulation of fat within large population of UK, this lead to create a different
type of health related issues and different diseases which commonly creates hypertension, heart
related disease and various type of cancer. These are some of the consequence which is due to
