Studies of the association between religious attendance and body mass have yielded mixed results. In this paper, we consider intersectional variations by race and gender to advance our understanding of these inconsistencies. We use data from the 2006-2008 Health and Retirement Study to examine the association between religious attendance and three indicators of body mass: overall body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio (n = 11,457). For White women, attendance is either protective or unrelated to body mass. For Black women, attendance is consistently associated with increased body mass. We find that religious attendance is not associated with body mass among the men.
关于宗教活动参与度与体重之间关联的研究结果不一。在本文中，我们考虑种族和性别的交叉差异，以加深对这些不一致性的理解。我们使用2006 - 2008年健康与退休研究的数据，来检验宗教活动参与度与三个体重指标之间的关联：总体体重指数、腰围和腰高比（n = 11,457）。对于白人女性，宗教活动参与度对体重要么有保护作用，要么与之无关。对于黑人女性，宗教活动参与度一直与体重增加有关。我们发现宗教活动参与度与男性的体重无关。
