The experience of racial discrimination may be a key factor in explaining
why African Americans have higher rates of obesity and suffer at higher
rates from such diseases as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, according
to UCLA researchers.

Repeated responses to such discrimination -- which include elevated blood
pressure and heart rate -- can cause enormous stress on a person's mental
and physical health, according to research scheduled to be published in
Volume 58 of the Annual Review of Psychology.
