Obesity Peer-review Journal

Obesity is both a public health crisis and a scientific challenge. Within the last 40 years, the prevalence of obesity in the UK has nearly quadrupled, from 6–8% of the adult population in 1980 to 26% today, costing to the public purse in England an estimated £27 billion per year. The volume of obesity research has undergone an even more dramatic increase over the same period, from roughly 1200 articles published in 1980 to over 21,000 articles published in 2017 alone. This scientific momentum has brought with it innovation of data sources and analytical approaches. While the visual representation of data, for instance, in charts and other graphics, has long been integral to the scientific process, scientific innovations and use of ‘big data’ in particular have driven new ways of visualising data. Data visualisations are important for communicating to scientific audiences, and increasingly an essential component of disseminating complex research findings to the public, and helping to better inform policy development. Moreover, the urgent societal implications of obesity are challenging researchers to carefully consider the potential of data visualisations to better serve public policy and practice.
