17 One of [our] most difficult challenges is to ensure that the urgent does not crowd out the important. In health the challenge is especially difficult because urgent matters can be so riveting. McGinnis JM, Foege W. The immediate vs. the important. JAMA ;9():6-6.

36 Will reducing the prevalence of junk food eating in the population reduce the risk of obesity in the population?

37 Baseline heritability Food environment Junk food eating Keyes KM, Davey Smith J, Koenen KC, Galea S. The mathematical limits of genetic prediction: implications for personalized medicine. Under review. Keyes KM, Galea S. Why a focus on changing health behaviors to reduce obesity prevalence will not work: the mathematical limits of individual risk behaviors. Under review.

40 Therefore Variation in the prevalence of background causes are med/low inter-individual causes is directly 6 6 associated with the number of obese people only when the prevalence of environmental causes is high/med and

41

42 Observation 5 Prevalence of junk food eating never matters to the effect of junk food eating on obesity in the population

43 Observation When genetic influence is low, the risk of obesity following junk food eating is high only when food environment is adverse

44 Observation Genetic influence obviates environmental influence only under common variant conditions

45 Therefore Understanding prevalence of junk food eating tells us very little about contribution of junk food to risk of obesity without understanding environment

46 Therefore, reducing the prevalence of junk food eating in the population is not particularly relevant to reducing the risk of obesity secondary to junk food eating unless there is a concomitant effort to also improve the food environment Keyes KM, Davey Smith J, Koenen KC, Galea S. The mathematical limits of genetic prediction: implications for personalized medicine. Under review. Keyes KM, Galea S. Why a focus on changing health behaviors to reduce obesity prevalence will not work: the mathematical limits of individual risk behaviors. Under review.

47 It is impossible to predict who is going to develop disorder without understanding the environmental drivers of disease

48 Can we afford not to try to prevent brain disorders?

49 No

50 It is no longer sufficient to expect that reforms in the medical care delivery system alone will improve the public s health. Large proportions of the disease burden are preventable. For the public s health. IOM.
