*3.1. Demographic Characteristics*

The demographic characteristics are described in detail elsewhere [17] and the key variables are summarized here. The sample included 203 Latino men (99 Mexicans and 104 Puerto Ricans) aged 18–65 years (*M* = 39.4; *SD* = 12.3). Most participants had lived in the U.S. more than 20 years (74%; *n* = 149), had acquired some college education (50%; *n* = 101), had income levels either less than \$10,000 (29%; *n* = 59) or between \$25,000–\$49,000 (30%; *n* = 61), and had overweight or obesity as indicated by their BMI (66%; *n* = 135). The distribution of covariates remained relatively uniform across the Latino subgroups, except for age. Specifically, there were more Puerto Rican men (62%) aged 41–65 years than Mexican men (30%) of the same age group. The demographic information is reported in Table 1.
