We examine the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors (fruit and vegetable intake, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption), and body mass index (BMI) using the Canadian Community Health Survey 2.1. We explore two different measures of SES, education and income, to elucidate material and cultural explanations of the SES-BMI relationship. Results vary significantly by gender, highlighting the complexity of the relationship between SES, sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, and BMI. We suggest that body weight is still a gendered status symbol, and that cultural and psychosocial factors may be more important than material factors in perpetuating this health inequality.
我们使用加拿大社区健康调查 2.1 来研究社会经济地位（SES）、社会人口统计学特征、生活方式行为（水果和蔬菜摄入、锻炼、吸烟和饮酒）与体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。我们探索了 SES 的两种不同衡量标准，即教育程度和收入，以阐明 SES-BMI 关系的物质和文化解释。结果因性别而异，突出了 SES、社会人口统计学和生活方式因素与 BMI 之间关系的复杂性。我们认为，体重仍然是一种性别地位的象征，文化和心理社会因素可能比物质因素更能使这种健康不平等持续下去。
