Analyzing reported changes in sexual identity over time is necessary for understanding young adult health risks. Utilizing waves 3 and 4 of the , this paper studies the relationships between sexual identity changes and BMI, obesity, and physical activity among young adults in the U.S (N = 11,349). The results show that men who report a change toward a more homosexual identity have a significantly lower BMI and participate in more physical activity, while men who report a change toward a more heterosexual identity participate in less physical activity and have a higher BMI compared to those who did not report a change. For women, a change toward a more homosexual identity is significantly associated with more physical activity and lower odds of being obese compared to no change. The results suggest that specific sexual identity changes may also be linked to improvements in health.
分析随时间推移所报告的性取向变化对于了解青年健康风险是必要的。利用[具体调查]的第3波和第4波数据，本文研究了美国青年（N = 11349）中性取向变化与体重指数（BMI）、肥胖及身体活动之间的关系。结果显示，报告性取向向更同性恋方向转变的男性BMI显著更低，且参与的身体活动更多，而报告性取向向更异性恋方向转变的男性与未报告有变化的男性相比，参与的身体活动更少，BMI更高。对于女性而言，与没有变化相比，性取向向更同性恋方向转变与更多的身体活动以及更低的肥胖几率显著相关。结果表明，特定的性取向变化可能也与健康改善有关。
