This study examined the body weight and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) preferences of "fat admirers" (FAs), that is, individuals who are sexually attracted to heavier partners. Fifty-six heterosexual men involved in the FA community rated a series of line drawings that varied in three levels of body weight and six of WHR for physical attractiveness and health. The results showed significant main effects of body weight and WHR, as well as a significant body weight x WHR interaction for both health ratings. In general, there was a preference for heavyweight figures and high WHRs for ratings of attractiveness and normal-weight figures and mid-ranging WHRs for ratings of health. Limitations of the study and explanations for fat admiration are discussed.
本研究调查了“胖美人爱慕者”（FA）的体重及腰臀比（WHR）偏好，即那些会被体重较重的伴侣吸引的人。56名参与FA群体的异性恋男性对一系列线条图进行了评分，这些线条图在体重的三个水平和腰臀比的六个水平上有所不同，以评估其身体吸引力和健康状况。结果显示，体重和腰臀比均有显著的主效应，并且在健康评分方面，体重×腰臀比存在显著的交互作用。总体而言，在吸引力评分上，人们偏好体重较重的身材和高腰臀比；在健康评分上，人们偏好体重正常的身材和中等腰臀比。本文还讨论了该研究的局限性以及对胖美人爱慕现象的解释。
