520 | |a As the obesity epidemic continues to grow in the United States, causing premature death and increased healthcare costs, researchers are investigating the various factors which contribute to obesity. Building on the developed literature connecting religious participation (defined as weekly attendance at church services) to physical and mental health outcomes, this study seeks to connect religious participation and the growing rates of obesity in the United States. Drawing on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data of obesity rates in major metro areas and data on the religious composition (defined as religious identity, often self-reported [e.g., Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish]) of cities by the Public Religion Research Institute, this study looks at the relationships between religious composition and obesity rates. | ||
