Ross Arena is the lead author of “Physical Inactivity and Obesity in the United States: At the Intersection of Politics, Socioeconomics, Race, and Culture” published in Current Problems in Cardiology. The commentary provides a view of physical inactivity (PI) and obesity in the U.S. from the intersection of politics, socioeconomics, race, and culture. It builds off a recent publication demonstrating a strong relationship between increased voting access and better health outcomes. The authors demonstrate that political viewpoints, cultural differences, education level, income, and race are influencing factors.
