African American/Black men suffer disproportionately from type 2 diabetes, hypertension and experiences with strokes and heart attacks compared to men in other racial/ethnic groups. Each of these conditions are obesity-related. The Office of Minority Health reports the prevalence of overweight and obesity (BMI>25) among African American/Black men is 70%. Fortunately, weight loss of 10% can improve risk factors associated with these conditions through improvements in eating habits and increased physical activity.
