I wonder what component vanity plays in all of this? Also self worth. I'm sure the two are more reflected in the well-to-do (because they're motivating factors to succeed financially), and each would lead one to exercise (in the former case to look good, and in the latter to feel good, although the two certainly aren't mutually exclusive). As a person who 'suffers' from vanity, I can definitely say that I can't stand the thought of looking in the mirror and seeing an obese person staring back at me.
