Lower income and less educated people are not as physically active as those with higher socioeconomic and educational levels. In addition, African Americans and Hispanics are less active. The unemployed, obese Hispanic woman has three risk factors for inactivity: (1) she is unemployed and therefore likely has no or a low income level; (2) she is a woman, and (3) she is Hispanic. All of these factors place her at risk for inactivity.
