Description
Summary:(1) took a step further and hypothesized that higher youth subjective social status (SSS) would be associated with a higher body mass index (BMI) loss among low-income Hispanic youth after a family- and community-based obesity intervention. [...]as Dr. Moon correctly observes and given our lack of a comparison group, regression to the mean (RTM) cannot be ruled out as an explanation for the finding that those with extreme values at baseline tended to regress toward less extreme values at follow-up. Overweight and obesity worsened by an average of 0.17 and 0.19 each year, respectively (4). [...]population-level data suggest that the low-income Latino population of the Denver, Colorado, metropolitan area experienced a mean increase in relative BMI during our study period.
