Critical Preface
Obesity is a prevalent problem in the current human world. Several cases of obesity are reported daily and the main challenge is that these cases are increasing every day. This annotated bibliography sort to find and bring together different sources that have explored the concept of obesity from different dimensions. The key guiding questions for this research included: What is the current status of obesity across the world? What are the contributing factors for the increased cases of obesity? How can the Health Belief Model be used in exploring obesity?
In exploring this concept I chose six sources out of which three of them are scholarly journal articles and three others are articles for magazines and organizations. All the sources are current in nature with the oldest being of the year 2009. They have been evaluated and proved to be very relevant to the research topic.

Dedli Ozden, Fadiloglu Cicek & Kelimeler Anahtar. Development and Evaluation of the Health Belief Model Scale in Obesity. TAF Preventive Medicine Bulletin, 2011: 10(5)
The main aim of the authors was to develop a scale for measuring the Health Belief Model in evaluating the health beliefs and attitudes of obese individuals towards obesity. With a sample of 400 obese individuals the authors developed an obesity Questionnaire form and Health Belief Model Scale on Obesity (HBMSO). They collected the sociodemographic data and other characteristics of the obese individuals while at the same time they conducted interviews on the individual’s beliefs and attitudes. SPSS was used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that HBMSO is a reliable and valid scale to measure the attitudes and beliefs of the obese individuals about obesity. This article is particularly important in exploring the Health Belief Model which is one of the standards of analysing sedentary diseases such as obesity. It will help me explore the concept of obesity from an attitude and a belief perspective. It complements the other articles with a totally new concept of the Health Belief Model hence giving my research a holistic view of the obesity problem in society.

Their study indicated that the non-white participants and those with fewer years of education resisted eating while food was readily available. However, compared to the white participants the non-white participants had more self-confidence to eat under social pressure than the white particip...
