OBJECTIVES
To evaluate a conceptual model of the psychosocial pathways linking socioeconomic status and body mass index (BMI) among smokers.
METHODS
A latent variable modeling approach was used to evaluate the interrelationships among socioeconomic status, perceived neighborhood disadvantage, social support, negative affect, and BMI among smokers recruited from the Houston metropolitan area (N = 424).
RESULTS
A total of 42.4% of participants were obese, with the highest prevalence of obesity among Latinos followed by African Americans. Across all racial/ethnic groups, perceived neighborhood disadvantage, social support, and negative affect functioned as pathways linking socioeconomic status and BMI.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings indicate the need for interventions that target obesity among socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers and provide potential intervention targets for the prevention and treatment of obesity.
目的
评估吸烟者中社会经济地位与体重指数（BMI）之间心理社会途径的概念模型。
方法
采用潜在变量建模方法，评估从休斯顿大都市区招募的吸烟者（N = 424）的社会经济地位、感知到的邻里劣势、社会支持、负面情绪和BMI之间的相互关系。
结果
共有42.4%的参与者肥胖，拉丁裔肥胖患病率最高，其次是非洲裔美国人。在所有种族/族裔群体中，感知到的邻里劣势、社会支持和负面情绪是连接社会经济地位和BMI的途径。
结论
研究结果表明，需要针对社会经济地位不利的吸烟者开展肥胖干预措施，并为肥胖的预防和治疗提供潜在的干预目标。
