Psychosocial stress and negative emotions have been associated with the consumption of highly palatable foods and excess weight. Few studies have examined these variable relationships among young African American women. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship of perceived stress, depressive symptoms, eating behaviors, and body mass index (BMI) among 191 African American women who were 18 to 40 years old. Multivariate analysis indicated that depressive symptoms had a greater impact on highly palatable eating behaviors compared with perceived stress. This study extends understanding of depressive symptoms on eating behaviors among young African American women.
心理社会压力和负面情绪与高适口性食物的摄入及超重有关。很少有研究探讨年轻非裔美国女性中这些变量之间的关系。这项横断面研究的目的是检验191名年龄在18至40岁之间的非裔美国女性的感知压力、抑郁症状、饮食行为和体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。多变量分析表明，与感知压力相比，抑郁症状对高适口性饮食行为的影响更大。本研究扩展了对年轻非裔美国女性抑郁症状对饮食行为影响的理解。
