What Factors Influence Our Weight?

Weight is shaped by many factors, including:

• Genetics and hormones
• Access to healthy food, safe places to exercise and health care
• Chronic stress and mental health
• Medications and metabolism
• Community — where you live can influence your ability to live a healthy life

The Healthy Living BEYOND Weight Study aims to build a more accurate, respectful and inclusive understanding of health.
