TI - Poor diet reflected in height, weight of low-income Hispanics JF - California Agriculture JO - Calif Agr Y1 - 1995/03/01 VL - 49 IS - 2 SP - 33 EP - 35 PB - University of California Agriculture and Nature Resources SN - 0008-0845 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3733/ca.v049n02p33 L3 - 10.3733/ca.v049n02p33 AB - A study of low-income Hispanic women and children in California revealed a high prevalence of individuals who were short in stature and overweight. Children in San Jose tended to be shorter than their Tulare County counterparts. Even after adjusting for socioeconomic variables and hereditary differences, the difference in size remained significant. These findings indicate that low-income Hispanics might benefit from nutrition and health interventions.
