ABSTRACT
Purpose of Review Disparities in obesity rates in the US continue to increase. Here we review progress and highlight gaps in understanding disparities in obesity with a focus on the Hispanic/Latino population from a systems epidemiology framework. We review seven domains environment, behavior, biomarkers, nutrition, microbiome, genomics, and epigenomics/transcriptomics. We focus on recent advances that include at least two or more of these domains, and then provide a real world example of data collection efforts that reflect these domains. Recent Findings:
Research into DNA methylation related to discrimination and microbiome relating to eating behaviors and food content is furthering understanding of why disparities in obesity persist. Environmental and neighborhood level research is uncovering the importance of exposures such as air and noise pollution and systematic or structural racism for obesity and related outcomes through behaviors such as sleep.
