Objective
This study tested whether initial weight change (WC), self‐weighing, and adherence to the expected WC trajectory predict longer‐term WC in an underserved primary‐care population with obesity.
Methods
Data from the intervention group (n = 452; 88% women; 74% Black; BMI 37.3 kg/m2 [SD: 4.6]) of the Promoting Successful Weight Loss in Primary Care in Louisiana trial were analyzed. Initial...
Objective
This study aimed to determine whether race modifies the association between obesity and cancer death.
Methods
The Pennington Center Longitudinal Study included 18,296 adults; 35.0% were male and 34.3% were Black. The primary end point was death from cancer.
Results
During a follow‐up of 14.3 years, 346 cancer deaths occurred. Among men, race modified the association of BMI and cancer...
Objective
Anthropometric measures of obesity, including BMI and waist circumference (WC), do not quantify excess adiposity and metabolic abnormalities consistently across racial populations. This study tested the hypothesis that participant race modifies the association of anthropometric measures of obesity and cancer risk.
Methods
This prospective cohort (The Pennington Center Longitudinal Study)...
