Authors:   Agostino Bruzzone, Vera Novak, Francesca Madeo, Cecilia Cereda

Abstract

The paper focuses on a large scale problem related to population health care with special attention to obesity. The authors present a proposal for modeling human behavior and its influence on the evolution of obesity epidemics, and its effects on social networks, infrastructures and facilities. This approach is based on Intelligent Agents tools developed for reproducing country reconstruction and human factors. These models represents the base that allows to add specific and complex aspects related to pathologies and correlated behaviors that allows to reproduce these phenomena.
