Abstract—Obesity has been a research area that has been of scholars’ interest since decades. Still obesity seems to be reported to be a rising global epidemic. Past research empirically assessed the role of genetic, economic and social environments interventions on obesity using research strategies like quantitative, simulation and social networks cross sectional and longitudinal analysis. This article critiques a review of current literature and describes how obesity is recently tackled from the point of view of adolescents’ social networks: specifically from journal articles’ various pronounced research gaps. Hence a model solution is proposed; viable for future empirical assessment for this study’s research in progress. Theoretical and practical implications to this model are also suggested in this paper.
