Limited research has examined the association of individual trust, participation and social capital with obesity using objective measures of waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and network measures of social capital.
Data were obtained from a representative sample of Montreal residents. Participants completed questionnaires that included a position generator for collecting network social capital data. Measures of WC, height and weight were collected by registered nurses. To estimate associations with cardiometabolic risk, data on WC for individuals with BMI between 18.5 and 34.9 were extracted for analysis (n = 291). Using a proportional odds model with clustered robust standard errors, we evaluated the association of three different measures of individual social capital with elevated and substantially elevated WC and overweight and obesity categories of BMI. These measures were then evaluated in their associations with elevated WC and BMI, adjusting for socio-demographic and behavioral covariates.
Network social capital was inversely associated with the likelihood of being in an elevated WC risk category (odds ratio (OR) = 0.81, 95% confidence intervals (CI: 0.69, 0.96) and higher BMI category (OR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.71, 0.92).
Higher individual network social capital is associated with a lower likelihood of elevated WC risk and overweight and obesity.
使用腰围(WC)、体重指数(BMI)的客观测量指标以及社会资本的网络测量指标,对个人信任、参与度和社会资本与肥胖之间的关联进行的研究有限。
数据来自蒙特利尔居民的代表性样本。参与者完成了问卷,其中包括一个用于收集网络社会资本数据的职位生成器。注册护士收集了WC、身高和体重的测量数据。为了估计与心血管代谢风险的关联,提取了BMI在18.5至34.9之间的个体的WC数据进行分析(n = 291)。使用具有聚类稳健标准误的比例优势模型,我们评估了三种不同的个人社会资本测量指标与WC升高和大幅升高以及BMI超重和肥胖类别之间的关联。然后在调整社会人口统计学和行为协变量的情况下,评估这些指标与WC升高和BMI之间的关联。
网络社会资本与WC风险升高类别(优势比(OR)= 0.81,95%置信区间(CI:0.69,0.96))和较高BMI类别(OR = 0.81,95% CI:0.71,0.92)的可能性呈负相关。
较高的个人网络社会资本与WC风险升高以及超重和肥胖的可能性较低相关。
