To examine sex-specific disparities in total and abdominal obesity prevalence across 6 ethnic-immigrant groups and explore whether the observed differences were attributable to diet and physical activity (PA).
Data were from 4331 respondents age 18-64 from the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Sex-specific multiple logistic regression analyses were performed.
Regardless of race-ethnicity, immigrants exhibited lower prevalence of total and abdominal obesity than natives. Among the US-born, Whites had the lowest total obesity prevalence followed by Hispanics and then Blacks; but racial-ethnic disparities for immigrants were different. In abdominal obesity, US-born white men had the highest prevalence. PA helped explain some ethnic-immigrant disparities.
Complex interactions of sex by race-ethnicity and nativity exist for obesity prevalence.
研究6个族裔移民群体中总体肥胖和腹部肥胖患病率的性别差异,并探讨观察到的差异是否归因于饮食和身体活动(PA)。
数据来自2003 - 2006年全国健康与营养检查调查中4331名18 - 64岁的受访者。进行了性别特异性多因素逻辑回归分析。
无论种族如何,移民的总体肥胖和腹部肥胖患病率均低于本地人。在美国出生的人群中,白人的总体肥胖患病率最低,其次是西班牙裔,然后是黑人;但移民的种族差异有所不同。在腹部肥胖方面,在美国出生的白人男性患病率最高。身体活动有助于解释一些族裔移民差异。
肥胖患病率存在种族 - 族裔、出生地与性别的复杂相互作用。
