“…The findings, particularly among the two cardiovascular groups, are striking given that being overweight is a significant risk factor not only for diabetes and cardiovascular problems but also for a reduced life expectancy (Kanarek, Orthen-Gambill, Barks-Kaufman, & Mayer, 1984). Roughly a third of the groups rate themselves as overweight.…”

Life-Style and Cardiovascular Health Among Urban Black Elderly

This study assessed life-style behaviors in a cross-sectional random sample of urban Black elderly with and without cardiovascular disease. Those with cardiac disease reported behavior modifications for salt mtake, fat intake, and smoking but more often reported being overweight and performing less exercise than did those elderly without cardiac disease. There remains substantial room for improvement in health maintenance and health promotion behaviors in this population, suggesting the need of intensive educational interventions. Additionally, Black elderly with cardiac disease had worse scores on a depression scale and a health locus-of-control question, suggesting the need for psychological assessment and intervention in this population.

“…Obesity was assumed to be the result of learned habits that could be corrected by using behavioral techniques to get obese individuals to eat like normal weight people. The notion that obesity was a consequence of poor eating behavior, however, was based on clinical impressions, rather than experimental data (13).…”

Do Obese Eat Faster Than Lean Subjects? Food Intake Studies in Pima Indian Men

1994

Food intake rate has previously been derived from observation of eating behavior in laboratory settings or in public eating establishments. Although it has been suggested that obese individuals eat faster than lean individuals, observations of such an "obese eating style" have yielded mixed results. In the present study, the relationship between ad-libitum food intake rate and obesity was evaluated over 4 days on a metabolic ward in 28 healthy Pima Indian men (Mean +/- SD; 29 +/- 7 y, 100.4 +/- 27.1 kg, 33 +/- 10% body fat) using an automated food selection system containing a large variety of foods. Total energy intake averaged 18829 +/- 3299 kJ/d consisting of 47 +/- 4, 40 +/- 3, and 13 +/- 1 percent of carbohydrate, fat and protein, respectively. The average meal duration was 25 +/- 7 min. Food intake rate was 68 +/- 21 g/min while carbohydrate, fat and protein intake rates were 23 +/- 6, 9 +/- 3 and 6 +/- 2 g/min, respectively. Food intake rate correlated negatively with % body fat (r = -0.61, P < 0.01). Similar relationships were found between the intake rates of carbohydrate, fat and protein and body fatness. Only prospective studies will indicate whether a slow food intake rate may contribute to the etiology of obesity by possibly reducing satiety.
