Abstract

While Latinx Americans in the general population are more likely to have obesity than non-Hispanic Whites, limited research has examined ethnic differences in obesity and its correlates among military veterans. To address this gap, we examined the prevalence, physical health and functional correlates of obesity in a population-based sample of Latinx and White U.S. military veterans.
