The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with obesity and to examine the health habits of the obese and non-obese. In this study of over 44,000 insured individuals, obesity rates increased with age until age 65 and were highest among members of Samoan ancestry. Because the causes of obesity are multi-faceted, treatment approaches may need to address diet, exercise, pharmacotherapy and management of comorbid conditions.
本研究的目的是确定与肥胖相关的因素，并调查肥胖者和非肥胖者的健康习惯。在这项对44000多名参保人员的研究中，肥胖率随年龄增长至65岁，在萨摩亚血统成员中最高。由于肥胖的成因是多方面的，治疗方法可能需要涉及饮食、运动、药物治疗以及合并症的管理。
