Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to identify significant racial and ethnical differences in risk factors for development of obesity and weight loss in adolescents in Central Virginia
Detailed Description:
Participation for 6 months in a program incorporating exercise nutritional counseling and behavioral support leads to measurable improvements in overall fitness metabolic indicators and loss of body fat for obese adolescents
Degree of loss of body fat improved overall fitness and improvements in metabolic indicators can be correlated with the degree of compliance and participation for 6 months in the program
Parental involvement and support can be correlated with the degree of compliance and participation in the program
Socioeconomic factors can be correlated with the degree of compliance and participation in the program
Cultural differences in diet attitudes toward body shape and family dynamics can be correlated with success or failure in a weight loss program
Individual differences in self-esteem self-discipline and feelings of connectedness with family members can be correlated with success or failure in a weight loss program
