Relationships between religion and body weight were examined in a US national sample.
Data from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS), collected through telephone and postal questionnaires, were analyzed for 3032 adults aged 25-74.
Religious denomination was significantly related to higher body weight in men after accounting for sociodemographic controls. Conservative Protestant men had a 1.1 +/- 0.45 higher body mass index (BMI) than those reporting no religious affiliation. Other religion variables that initially had significant relationships with greater body weight before adjusting for control variables became nonsignificant after smoking was controlled. No significant relationships between religion and body weight were present in women.
Religious denomination was related to body weight in men. Other dimensions of religiosity showing a relationship with higher BMI appeared to be because of the lower rates of smoking among more religious individuals.
在美国全国样本中研究宗教与体重之间的关系。
通过电话和邮政问卷收集的美国中年发展全国性调查（MIDUS）的数据，对3032名年龄在25 - 74岁的成年人进行了分析。
在考虑社会人口统计学控制因素后，宗教派别与男性较高体重显著相关。保守派新教男性的体重指数（BMI）比无宗教信仰者高1.1±0.45。在控制吸烟因素之前，其他最初与较高体重有显著关系的宗教变量在调整控制变量后变得不显著。女性中宗教与体重之间无显著关系。
宗教派别与男性体重有关。宗教信仰的其他维度与较高BMI的关系似乎是由于宗教信仰较强者吸烟率较低。
