Project Narrative
OEF/OIF veterans represent the newest and youngest veteran cohort to utilize VA
healthcare services. Weight management is already a concern, with 62% males and
32% females overweight in active duty military personnel. This pilot study will identify
BMI trajectories in OEF/OIF veterans, both within the full veteran sample and by sex and
race. This preliminary work will be the basis of a larger study that will determine
demographic, military service, pain, health, and utilization factors associated with BMI
change trajectory group membership. The goal is to identify factors associated with
weight change and provide a deeper understanding of the 'weight change timeline',
allowing VA to develop and implement interventions appropriate for critical points in the
weight change process and minimize obesity-related healthcare costs.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
