Brief Summary:
To examine the biobehavioral determinants of obesity in Black as compared with white women
Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND
Behavioral medicine surveys consistently find that obesity is a treatment-resistant disease that continues to be a significant health problem and that the incidence of obesity is much higher in Blacks relative to whites in general and even higher in Black women relative to white women In fact an NIH Program Announcement PA-91-99 stated that Obesity in adults has not declined in the past three decades and Obesity is particularly prevalent in minority populations especially among minority women Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease stroke and hypertension Obesity is a complex phenomenon involving behavioral lifestyle and complex biobehavioral mechanisms In 1995 there were no prospective studies that simultaneously evaluated a systematic set of psychosocial variables with energy balance dietary intake physical activity resting metabolic rate determinants that may account for the increased risk for obesity in African-American versus Euro-American women
DESIGN NARRATIVE
After subjects were recruited psychosocial and energy balance dietary intake physical activity metabolic rate baseline measures were related to levels of body fat as measured by DEXA dual electron X-ray absorptiometry The role of these variables were evaluated prospectively to adiposity changes in both white and Black women over a 24-month period
