Title
Reducing obesity: motivating action while not blaming the victim.
Authors
Adler, Nancy E; Stewart, Judith
Abstract
The rise in obesity in the United States may slow or even reverse the long-term trend of increasing life expectancy. Like many risk factors for disease, obesity results from behavior and shows a social gradient. Especially among women, obesity is more common among lower-income individuals, those with less education, and some ethnic/racial minorities.
