      abstract = {Results from a survey of 441 college students suggest that  weight gain rises with age and household income, but falls  with household size, race, and number of minutes devoted to  exercise. Body mass index was invariant to academic  classifications, marital status, and gender. Some of the  weight gain may be a function of students' misperceptions  about their health and weight. For example, 27.3 percent of  students who indicated their weight was about right were  obese, and 11 percent who rated themselves as being in  excellent health were actually obese},
