Abstract

Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities also exist across many known risk factors for childhood overweight and obesity.3-8 Interventions that are able to address the disparities in obesity-related risk factors may help curb the increase in overweight and obesity among racial/ethnic minority children and those living in low-income households.
