According to recent data, almost 50% of African Americans have obesity, and approximately 4 out of 5 Black women have overweight or obesity.
The causes of obesity are complex, and a person’s access to healthy food, safe places to exercise and play, stable and affordable housing, access to quality health care, and social attitudes about body weight all play a role in whether a person will have obesity.
This means that minorities more often shop in small stores or bodegas or eat at fast food restaurants. These places usually have less fresh food and more processed food. Health officials noted that this suggests that intensive behavioral programs result in lower levels of adherence in Black people than whites.
Researchers said obesity not only affects overall health, but it also increases the risk of complications from COVID-19.
