Abstract

Obesity is not a terminal problem, but is related to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Therefore, efforts to halt the rate of increase in obesity require a holistic approach and support from all stakeholders. The formulation of the problem that will be studied is: “Is it appropriate for the problem of obesity to be made a national health problem?” This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires online to 200 respondents. The analysis was carried out using the structural equation model design method (SEM = structural equation model). The results revealed that the majority of respondents (77.7%) agreed that obesity is a serious health problem. However, establishing indicators of national health problems is not easy. It is necessary to determine the magnitude of the problem by taking into account regional characteristics, comparing it with similar problems in other countries in order to obtain internationally accepted problem standards. If it is designated as a national health problem, then efforts to overcome obesity will not be simple. The success of controlling obesity cannot stand alone, but rather depends on efforts to overcome other health problems that are directly or indirectly related to the problem of obesity. It would be better to design a composite index that describes the success of development in the field of nutrition by including the problem of obesity as one of its constituent elements.
