African-American Women Need 'Greater Obesity Effort'

Obesity researchers have found that African-American women need to
consume fewer calories or do more activity to achieve the same weight-loss
rates as Caucasian women who start at a similar size. They cite a lower
metabolic rate to explain the greater difficulty in reducing obesity.
.
The University of Pittsburgh, PA, team of metabolism experts say that
previous research has also found that African-American women fail to lose
as much weight as Caucasians in response to medical help, and that this
has raised questions about how well the group adheres to the measures put
in place.
.
The current study, however, confirms that willingness to participate is
not a factor for these women in the success of weight-loss measures to
restrict calories or increase physical activity.

James DeLany, PhD, associate professor of endocrinology and metabolism at
the Pitt School of Medicine, says:
.
"At first, it was thought that perhaps the African-American women didn't
adhere as closely to their calorie prescriptions or that the interventions
were not culturally sensitive. But even in research projects that were
designed to address those possibilities, the difference in weight loss
remained."
.
Dr. DeLany explains that similarly sized bodies do not always respond to
the same obesity measures for equal weight-loss gains - metabolism varies
in different groups of people.
.
"We prescribe how many calories are allowed and how much activity is
needed during weight loss interventions based on the premise that people
of the same weight have similar metabolic rates," he says.
