Abstract

Obesity is a serious and prevalent problem (Brownell & Wadden, 1992). A recent study shows that 24% of men and 27% of women are at least 20% above desirable weight (Kuczmarski, 1992). Obesity tends to be especially prevalent among minority and low-socioeconomic-status populations (Ernst & Harlan, 1991; Sobal & Stunkard, 1989). The prevalence of obesity also increases with age, particularly among women (Williamson, Kahn, Remington, & Anda, 1990). Furthermore, when these factors come together, as in the case of African-American women ages 45 to 75 years, the prevalence rate of obesity is as high as 60% (Van Itallie, 1985).
