OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine whether lesbians have higher rates of overweight and obesity than women of other sexual orientations.
METHODS
We compared population estimates of overweight and obesity across sexual orientation groups, using data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth.
RESULTS
Adjusted multinomial logistic regression analyses showed lesbians have more than twice the odds of overweight (odds ratio [OR]=2.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.40, 5.18) and obesity (OR=2.47; 95% CI=1.19, 5.09) as heterosexual women. Bisexuals and women who reported their sexual orientation as "something else" (besides heterosexual, lesbian, or bisexual) showed no such increase in the odds of overweight and obesity.
CONCLUSIONS
Lesbian women have a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than all other female sexual orientation groups. This finding suggests that lesbians are at greater risk for morbidity and mortality linked to overweight and obesity. This finding also highlights the need for interventions within this population.
目的
我们试图确定女同性恋者超重和肥胖的发生率是否高于其他性取向的女性。
方法
我们使用2002年全国家庭成长调查的数据，比较了不同性取向群体中超重和肥胖的人口估计数。
结果
经调整的多项逻辑回归分析显示，女同性恋者超重（优势比[OR]=2.69；95%置信区间[CI]=1.40，5.18）和肥胖（OR=2.47；95%CI=1.19，5.09）的几率是异性恋女性的两倍多。双性恋者以及将自己的性取向报告为“其他”（除异性恋、女同性恋或双性恋之外）的女性，超重和肥胖的几率没有这种增加。
结论
女同性恋女性超重和肥胖的患病率高于所有其他女性性取向群体。这一发现表明，女同性恋者因超重和肥胖而发病和死亡的风险更大。这一发现还凸显了在这一人群中进行干预的必要性。
