Obesity and Weight Loss Maintenance in African American Communities Obesity is a significant public health problem that disproportionately affects underserved groups. Within the U.S., African Americans (31.1% of blacks are obese compared to 19.6% of whites) and Southern rural residents bear some of the highest burdens of the obesity epidemic. Obesity interventions targeting rural, African American groups are essential to address disparities in health. Weight loss improves obesity-related risk factors and prevents the development of obesity-related comorbidities, and weight loss interventions have shown improvements in these outcomes. However, the positive effects of weight loss tend to diminish unless weight loss is maintained. Several multi-center efficacy trials of lifestyle modification for obesity have reported significant and sustained weight loss for diverse groups. However, there has been very little work in the translation of evidence-based weight loss and maintenance interventions into regular practice settings, such as the community. To effectively address obesity disparities, evidence-based weight loss and maintenance interventions translated for rural African American groups in the community are needed

非裔美国人社区的肥胖和减肥维持 肥胖是一个重大的公共卫生问题，对服务不足的群体造成了不成比例的影响。在美国，非裔美国人（黑人肥胖率为 31.1%，白人肥胖率为 19.6%）和南方农村居民承受着肥胖流行的最沉重负担。针对农村、非裔美国人群体的肥胖干预措施对于解决健康差异至关重要。减肥可以改善与肥胖相关的危险因素，并防止肥胖相关合并症的发生，并且减肥干预措施已显示出这些结果的改善。然而，除非体重持续减轻，否则减肥的积极效果往往会减弱。多项改变生活方式治疗肥胖的多中心疗效试验报告称，不同群体的体重显着且持续下降。然而，将循证减肥和维持干预措施转化为社区等常规实践环境方面的工作却很少。为了有效解决肥胖差异，需要针对社区中的农村非裔美国人群体采取基于证据的减肥和维持干预措施
