To examine racial/ethnic differences in the effects of body mass index (BMI) on the onset of functional impairment over 10 years of follow-up. Longitudinal analyses of a cohort from a nationally representative survey of community-dwelling American adults. Six waves (1996-2006) of US Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Two groups of HRS participants aged ≥50 without functional impairment at baseline (1996): 5,884 with no mobility difficulty, and 8,484 with no Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) difficulty. Mobility difficulty was a composite measure of difficulty in walking several blocks, walking one block, climbing several flights of stairs, and climbing one floor of stairs. ADL difficulty was measured by difficulty in dressing, bathing or showing, eating, and getting in or out of bed without help. The association between the baseline BMI categories and risk to develop functional impairment was estimated using generalized estimating equations (GEE) models. Overweight and obesity were significant predictors for functional impairment. Compared to the Whites in the same overweight and obese categories, Hispanics were 41% and 91% more likely to develop ADL disability. Blacks in the overweight and severely obese categories were also more likely than their White counterparts to develop ADL disability. Risk of developing ADL difficulty was higher for Hispanics than for Blacks in the obese category. For onset of mobility difficulty, no significant differences were found across racial/ethnic groups within any BMI Category. Blacks and Hispanics were at higher risk than Whites for ADL but not mobility impairment. In addition to weight control, prevention efforts should promote exercise to reduce functional impairment, especially for Blacks and Hispanics, who are at higher risk.
