Experience shows that regulatory intervention can lead to substantial improvement in population health. The history of regulatory intervention in public health suggests that 'tipping points' necessary to catalyse regulatory change may be identified. We examine three areas in which governments have legislated to protect public health: sanitation, building standards, and vehicle emissions. We apply the lessons to regulatory reform addressing obesity and the chronic disease it causes.
经验表明，监管干预可以显著改善人口健康状况。公共卫生监管干预的历史表明，可以确定促成监管变革所需的“临界点”。我们研究了政府立法保护公共卫生的三个领域：卫生设施、建筑标准和车辆排放。我们将这些经验教训应用于解决肥胖及其导致的慢性病的监管改革。
