Governments should incentivize individual health behaviors through urban design and food policy: designing cities with accessible transportation (bus stops), walkability, and partnering with food multinationals to improve nutrition could extend lifespan and health span by 8-10 years at the population level.

Evidence Quote

incentivizing behavior...based on the structure of City where do you have bus stops...how far do you have to walk...work with big multinationals together to have healthy food on the table...if we would shift people on group level from a normal diet uh towards a healthy diet...individuals would live 8 to 10 years longer and healthier
