AIM
The aim of this study is to describe relationships among self-rated health, stress, sleep quality, loneliness, and self-esteem, in obese young adult women.
BACKGROUND
Obesity has steadily increased among young adults and is a major predictor of self-rated health.
METHODS
A sample of 68 obese (BMI 30 or higher, mean 35), young (18-34 years, mean 22) adult women were recruited from a health center. Survey data were gathered and analyzed using descriptive and bivariate procedures to assess relationships and group differences.
RESULTS
Scores reflected stress, loneliness, poor sleep quality, and poor self-esteem. There were positive correlations among stress, loneliness, and sleep quality and, a high inverse correlation between loneliness and self-esteem. Those who ranked their health as poor differed on stress, loneliness, and self-esteem when compared to those with rankings of good/very good.
CONCLUSIONS
Assessing and addressing stress, loneliness, sleep quality and self-esteem could lead to improved health outcomes in obese young women.
目的
本研究旨在描述肥胖年轻成年女性的自评健康状况、压力、睡眠质量、孤独感和自尊之间的关系。
背景
肥胖在年轻人中呈稳步上升趋势，是自评健康状况的主要预测因素。
方法
从一家健康中心招募了68名肥胖（体重指数30或更高，平均为35）、年轻（18 - 34岁，平均为22岁）的成年女性作为样本。收集调查数据并使用描述性和双变量程序进行分析，以评估关系和组间差异。
结果
得分反映出压力、孤独感、睡眠质量差和自尊水平低。压力、孤独感和睡眠质量之间存在正相关，孤独感与自尊之间存在高度负相关。与健康状况评为良好/非常好的人相比，将自己的健康状况评为差的人在压力、孤独感和自尊方面存在差异。
结论
评估和解决压力、孤独感、睡眠质量和自尊问题可能会改善肥胖年轻女性的健康状况。
