Weight difference among demographic subgroups, and difference in specific behaviors, health awareness, and eating patterns can be linked to weight outcomes. An economic framework helps explain how socioeconomic factors affect an individual's ability to achieve good health. Our results suggest that income, household composition, and formal education help explain variation in behaviors and attitudes that are significantly associated with weight outcomes. 650 0 $a Food habits $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Diet $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Diet $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Nutrition. 650 0 $a Americans $x Food. 650 0 $a Obesity $x Economic aspects $z United States. 700 1 $a Lin, Biing-Hwan. 700 1 $a Ballenger, Nicole. 710 1 $a United States. $b Economic Research Service. $b Economic Research Service. 939 $a 5255534 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180703060239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=308B2CFA2B0811DE986A0F08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
