The prevalence of obesity in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN)
populations has increased dramatically over the past 30 years.
Although AIs are not a homogeneous group, all tribes throughout the
U.S. have suffered adverse effects from the high prevalence of
obesity. Overall, studies demonstrate that obesity begins early for
AI/AN children and also is a significant problem for the adult
population. Many chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart
disease, stroke, arthritis, and breathing problems are associated
with the increasing prevalence of obesity in AIs. The book is
organized into four major sections: a literature review that
synthesizes research findings pertaining to the prevalence of
obesity and examines what is known about the major determinants and
consequences of obesity as well as the nature and findings of
various types of clinical and community-based interventions;
activities of selected federal agencies in the area of obesity and
AI/ANs; summary of a site visit to the Gila River Indian Community;
and directions for future research.
