Lifestyle fitness patterns of individuals across northeast Ohio

摘要：

The patterns and habitual characteristics that adults apply to dietary/nutritional intake and physical activity can directly affect overall health and wellness, and augment their level of risk associated with acquisition of disease (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2005). The low incidence of physical activity and the ineffective management of both qualitative and quantitative food consumption are the leading contributors to the continuously expanding obesity epidemic (Kaphingst et al, 2007; Brown, Thompson, Tod, & Jones, 2006). Under the current recognized Body Mass Index (BMI>25), nearly 64% of the U.S. adult population is either overweight or obese (Ruelaz et al, 2007).
