We compared fruit and vegetable (FV) intake, physical activity (PA), and overweight/ obesity among Black and White females attending two- and four-year colleges.
We recruited 24,055 students at six colleges in the Southeast to complete an online survey, yielding 4840 responses (20.1% response rate). The current analyses focused on the 2276 Black and White females.
Binary logistic regression analyses indicated that recommended FV intake among White females was associated with greater extraversion (Odds Ratio [OR] = 1.05, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.00, 1.11, p = 0.05) and greater conscientiousness (OR = 1.08, CI 1.02, 1.14, p = 0.01), whereas among Black females correlates included greater openness to experience (OR = 1.08, CI 1.01, 1.15, p = 0.03). Ordinal logistic regression analyses indicated that, among White females, greater PA was associated with attending a four-year college (Beta = 0.27, CI 0.01, 0.53, p = 0.04), whereas among Black females, correlates were with younger age (Beta = 0.01, CI 0.17, 0.03, p = 0.003) and greater emotional stability (Beta = 0.07, CI 0.01, 0.13, p = 0.02). Binary logistic regression analyses indicated that, among White females, being overweight or obese was associated with older age (OR = 1.08, CI 1.01, 1.16, p = 0.03), attending a two-year college (OR = 1.62, CI 1.22, 2.16, p = 0.001), and lower satisfaction with life (OR = 0.96, CI 0.94, 0.98, p = 0.002), whereas among Black females, being overweight or obese was associated with older age (OR = 1.87, CI 1.10, 1.28, p < 0.001).
Identifying factors related to obesity-related factors is critical in developing interventions targeting factors associated with overweight and obesity among Black and White females attending two- and four-year colleges. Moreover, understanding different college settings and the contextual factors associated with overweight/obesity is critical.
我们比较了在两年制和四年制大学就读的黑人和白人女性的水果和蔬菜(FV)摄入量、身体活动(PA)以及超重/肥胖情况。
我们在东南部的六所大学招募了24,055名学生来完成一项在线调查,共获得4840份回复(回复率为20.1%)。当前分析聚焦于2276名黑人和白人女性。
二元逻辑回归分析表明,白人女性中推荐的FV摄入量与更高的外向性相关(优势比[OR]=1.05,95%置信区间[CI]为1.00,1.11,p = 0.05)以及更高的尽责性相关(OR = 1.08,CI为1.02,1.14,p = 0.01),而在黑人女性中,相关因素包括更高的经验开放性(OR = 1.08,CI为1.01,1.15,p = 0.03)。有序逻辑回归分析表明,在白人女性中,更高的PA与就读四年制大学相关(β = 0.27,CI为0.01,0.53,p = 0.04),而在黑人女性中,相关因素是更年轻的年龄(β = 0.01,CI为0.17,0.03,p = 0.003)和更高的情绪稳定性(β = 0.07,CI为0.01,0.13,p = 0.02)。二元逻辑回归分析表明,在白人女性中,超重或肥胖与年龄较大相关(OR = 1.08,CI为1.01,1.16,p = 0.03)、就读两年制大学相关(OR = 1.62,CI为1.22,2.16,p = 0.001)以及对生活的满意度较低相关(OR = 0.96,CI为0.94,0.98,p = 0.002),而在黑人女性中,超重或肥胖与年龄较大相关(OR = 为1.87,CI为1.10,1.28,p < 0.001)。
确定与肥胖相关因素相关的因素对于制定针对在两年制和四年制大学就读的黑人和白人女性中超重和肥胖相关因素的干预措施至关重要。此外,了解不同的大学环境以及与超重/肥胖相关的背景因素也至关重要。
