The purpose of this study was to (1) examine the association between weight status and men's positive mental health, defined as the presence of symptoms of emotional, psychological, and social well-being, and (2) evaluate the moderating effect of marital status. A total of 645 men aged between 19 and 71 years self-reported their height and weight and answered a questionnaire measuring their emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Analysis of variance revealed that mean levels of emotional, psychological, and social well-being did not significantly differ according to men's weight status. Moderation analyses indicated that, for men in a relationship (married or living common-law), there were no significant associations between overweight, obesity, and the three components of positive mental health. However, for single men, overweight was marginally associated with higher emotional well-being, while obesity was associated with lower psychological well-being and marginally associated with lower social well-being. Results of the present study suggest that health professionals and researchers should take the characteristics (such as marital status) of men with obesity and overweight into account when working with them. Mental health researchers may need to examine men in each weight category separately (e.g. obesity vs. overweight), since the association with positive mental health can differ from one category to another.
(1) 考察体重状况与男性积极心理健康（定义为情绪、心理和社会幸福感的存在）之间的关系；(2) 评估婚姻状况的调节作用。共有 645 名年龄在 19 至 71 岁之间的男性报告了他们的身高和体重，并回答了一个衡量他们情绪、心理和社会幸福感的问卷。方差分析显示，男性的体重状况与情绪、心理和社会幸福感的平均水平没有显著差异。调节分析表明，对于处于恋爱关系（已婚或同居）的男性，超重和肥胖与积极心理健康的三个组成部分之间没有显著关联。然而，对于单身男性，超重与更高的情绪幸福感呈边缘相关，而肥胖与更低的心理幸福感相关，且与更低的社会幸福感呈边缘相关。本研究结果表明，健康专业人员和研究人员在与肥胖和超重男性合作时，应考虑他们的特点（如婚姻状况）。心理健康研究人员可能需要分别研究每个体重类别的男性（例如，肥胖与超重），因为与积极心理健康的关联可能因类别而异。
