Long-term trends in obesity prevalence by socio-economic group in five European countries and the USA: The relevance of the diffusion of innovations theory
Discussion: Recent trends in obesity prevalence by SEG are mostly in line with the diffusion of
innovations theory, however, no diffusion from higher to lower SEGs at the start of the epidemic was
found. The stagnation among higher SEGs but not lower SEGs suggests that the latter will likely
experience the greatest future burden.
