The obesity epidemic: are minority individuals equally affected?

Pablo J Calzada1, Paula Anderson-Worts.   

Abstract

There is a greater prevalence of obesity in ethnic and racial minorities than in non-Hispanic whites. This disparity is multifactorial, with culture, environment, and genetics playing a role. There are limited data on successful interventions to prevent and treat obesity in minority populations.
