Abstract

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this paper was to review multiple levels of risk factors related to obesity among older Latino adults aged 65 years and over.

Recent Findings

Obesity disproportionately affects Latino older adults. Multiple obesity-related risk factors among Latino older adults have been identified through qualitative and quantitative research. Risk factors at each of the levels of the socio-ecological model include biological predispositions, lifestyle and behaviors, social support from family members, access to recreational facilities, and public policies that support tailored and effective prevention and treatment programs.

Summary

This review outlines several key obesity-related risk factors among Latino older adults which can be targeted for future research and for tailoring obesity prevention clinical practice.
