ABSTRACT
Obesity (BMI) continues to be a increasing health problem in African-American
women. The LIFE Project is a 10-week intervention designed to address the problem in
these women. Two different interventions (spiritually based and non-spiritually based)
are tested in the LIFE project. Both interventions utilized a pre-test, post-test design.
The following measures are collected: weight, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood
pressure, communication with physician, physical activity, and spirituality. The results
demonstrate that spiritual interventions result in significant reductions in weight.
