【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we propose a fractional order epidemic model for obesity contagion. The population size is assumed to be nonconstant, which is more realistic. The model considers vertical transmission of obesity and also obesity-related death rate. We give local stability analysis of the model. Finally, some numerical examples are presented.
