For Black Females, Lack of Exercise Heightens Obesity Risk

  


Studies have been done with the obesity pandemic in the US that reveal that about 30% of white females are obese, while almost 50% of black females are obese.  These staggering number start young, and researchers found that black teenage girls are the most likely to report getting little to no exercise within a week's time.  This makes the obesity set in at a younger age.  This could be caused by inner city schools, where a large part of the population grow up, not having the same resources for activities and recess.
