Thank you very much for your interest and response. We are also measuring different ways of coping to see if this relates to either body image or activity levels. I think this would show that fat people can be healthy without having to lose weight or body fat if they are active. To pin point specific conditions would be helpful in linking them to exercise prescriptions by health professionals. But this could equally be applied to people of all sizes.
