The Impact of Media Coverage on Obesity
Résumé
In this paper, we develop a deterministic compartmental model for the obesity dynamics. Contrary to other contributions on this subject we explore the impact of the media on the spreading of this phenomenon in a constant population. Stability analysis shows that the disease-free equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable when the number of reproduction is less than unity. We also show that the endemic equilibrium point when it exists is globally asymptotically stable under some conditions.
