Abstract
Willett et al. (Aug. 5 issue)1 have highlighted the importance of taking early action to prevent increases in measures of obesity and the associated risks, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The data to which they refer, however, concern predominantly white populations and are not necessarily representative of other racial or ethnic groups.Keywords
