PURPOSE
Obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle interventions such as physical activity and diet are important components for reducing the risk of obesity. Data suggest that lifestyle choices differ between men and women, as well as in groups. The purpose of this review was to explore whether obesity can be considered as a gendered social contagion, associated with differences in lifestyle and response to lifestyle interventions in men and women.
FINDINGS
There are important sex-based differences of obesity to consider. There is evidence that peers have an influence on lifestyle preferences such as physical activity level and dietary habits, but the evidence is inconclusive if the differences exist between men and women. Similarly, data from lifestyle intervention studies are not conclusive whether there are differences between men and women. There is not enough evidence for the notion that obesity is a gendered social contagion.
IMPLICATIONS
More research is needed to understand differences in lifestyle and lifestyle interventions between men and women, especially across the life span, which could have profound public health implications.
目的
肥胖会增加心血管疾病的风险。生活方式干预，如体育活动和饮食，是降低肥胖风险的重要组成部分。有数据表明，男性和女性之间以及不同群体之间的生活方式选择存在差异。本综述的目的是探讨肥胖是否可以被视为一种具有性别差异的社会传染现象，与男性和女性的生活方式差异以及对生活方式干预的反应有关。
发现
肥胖存在重要的性别差异需要考虑。有证据表明，同龄人对生活方式偏好（如体育活动水平和饮食习惯）有影响，但男女之间是否存在差异的证据尚无定论。同样，来自生活方式干预研究的数据也不能确定男女之间是否存在差异。没有足够的证据表明肥胖是一种具有性别差异的社会传染现象。
影响
需要进一步研究来了解男性和女性之间的生活方式和生活方式干预的差异，特别是在整个生命周期中，这可能对公共卫生具有深远的影响。
