Complex adaptive systems-of-systems are integrally multi-scale across several scopes, with temporal, geographical, Obesity is a significant public health issue with far-reaching implications for disease prevention and management. It is characterized by an excess accumulation of body fat, which can lead to various health complications, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. Preventing obesity involves a multifaceted approach that encompasses dietary modifications, increased physical activity, and behavioral changes. Public health initiatives often focus on promoting healthy eating habits, encouraging regular exercise, and implementing policies that make healthy choices more accessible and affordable.

Reducing obesity rates can alleviate the economic burden on healthcare systems by decreasing the prevalence of obesity-related conditions.

Effective prevention strategies often require collaboration between healthcare providers, policymakers, and community organizations to create environments that support and sustain healthy lifestyles, and organizational. We present a multimodal paradigm integrating a localized community-scale individual-based model (IBM) with a population scale system dynamics (SD) model to analyze long term results of potential policy interferences for obesity prevention, The N&PA related health actions of individuals change dynamically relative to endogenous impacts within their social network and exogenous influences from industry-based publicizing and public health-related counter-marketing and educational operations.
