Abstract
Hispanic/Latino adults in the United States experience disproportionately high rates of obesity (46%) and related chronic diseases.1 This study applied cluster analysis to data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) (n=9,974) to identify distinct subgroups based on behavioral, psychological, socioeconomic, and cultural factors. Five clusters with unique characteristics were identified. Typology definitions will be developed using stakeholder input via virtual nominal group technique. This research aims to inform more effective, culturally-tailored weight management interventions
