In 1940, 2,000 women working in a factory were recruited into a study. Half of the women worked in manufacturing and half in administrative offices.

After medically-supervised obese adults leave a six-month in-patient treatment program of diet and exercise to foster healthy weight loss, these patients are monitored as they transition back into their own homes.
