Eighty morbidly obese married women and 69 of their husbands completed a self-report measure of personal and marital adjustment before the women proceeded to gastric restriction surgery. Fifty-five women and 41 husbands repeated the measure 12 months after surgery, at which time the women had lost a mean of 35.4 kg. Women rated themselves as significantly more attractive and sociable, and rated their husbands as significantly less sociable and interesting, than before surgery. Husbands rated their wives as excessively sociable after surgery, the reverse of their previous view. The data offered some support for a family systems view of morbid obesity, but the systemic effect appeared weak, and is probably not a major contributor to wives' morbid obesity in most cases.
80名病态肥胖的已婚女性及其69名丈夫在这些女性进行胃限制手术前完成了一项关于个人和婚姻调适的自我报告测量。55名女性和41名丈夫在术后12个月再次进行了该测量，此时这些女性平均体重减轻了35.4千克。与手术前相比，女性给自己的评价是明显更有吸引力且更善于社交，而对丈夫的评价则是明显不那么善于社交且无趣。丈夫们认为他们的妻子在术后过于善于社交，这与他们之前的看法相反。这些数据为病态肥胖的家庭系统观点提供了一些支持，但这种系统效应似乎较弱，在大多数情况下可能并非导致妻子病态肥胖的主要因素。
