Overweight Americans who lose a lot of weight also tend to
build more wealth as they drop the pounds, according to new
research.
The study found that the link between weight
loss and wealth gains was particularly strong among white

lost weight, but not as much as did white women. The wealth
of Black men was basically unaffected by their weight.
There's no way to tell from the data whether losing weight
was the reason for the gain in wealth, but the linkage was
definitely there, said Jay Zagorsky, author of the study and
a research scientist at Ohio State University's Center for
Human Resource Research.
