If successful, this research could provide a potential model to help to address and prevent obesity and promote a healthy weight in Latino families with preschool children, a highly significant and growing public health problem.
The available research that does exist on the health of the economically inactive suggests that: (1) the health of economically inactive adults is broadly similar to that of the unemployed; [ 10 , 13 – 16 ] (2) moving from economic inactivity due to sickness or disability into employment is associated with a decreased risk of reporting poor health; [ 15 , 17 – 21 ] and (3) both unemployment and economic inactivity are highly significant predictors of the onset of limiting longstanding illness [ 18 ].

Xiu-Li and Wang (2008) [ 11 ] found that the ageing of the eastern, central and western regions could be characterized as “high, medium and low”, respectively, with the differences between regions and provinces in the eastern region demonstrating a decreasing trend, although the overall inter-provincial differences were broadened.
