Health disparities in obesity

Health disparities in obesity reflect how certain populations are more affected by obesity due to socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental factors. Low-income communities and racial minorities, including African Americans, Hispanics, and those in rural areas, often face higher obesity rates due to limited access to healthy foods, healthcare, and safe spaces for physical activity. These groups are also more likely to encounter food insecurity, which leads to poor dietary habits and higher caloric intake. The resulting health disparities contribute to an increased prevalence of obesity-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Addressing these disparities requires policy changes that improve access to nutritious foods, healthcare, and health education to create healthier environments for all.
