American Indians are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease in adulthood, and levels of physical activity and body mass index associate with cardiovascular disease risk. Recent research indicates that one's mindset may play a role in determining health behaviors and outcomes. In a sample of 105 American Indian college students, greater growth health mindset associated with lower body mass index. Bootstrapping analyses revealed a significant indirect effect of health mindset on body mass index through levels of physical activity. These findings suggest that interventions aiming to promote growth health mindsets may be successful in reducing risk for cardiovascular disease in American Indian college students.
美国印第安人在成年后患心血管疾病的风险增加，而身体活动水平和身体质量指数与心血管疾病风险相关。最近的研究表明，一个人的思维模式可能在决定健康行为和结果方面发挥作用。在 105 名美国印第安大学生的样本中，更大的成长健康思维模式与较低的身体质量指数相关。自举分析显示，健康思维模式通过身体活动水平对身体质量指数有显著的间接影响。这些发现表明，旨在促进成长健康思维模式的干预措施可能会成功降低美国印第安大学生患心血管疾病的风险。
