The prevalence of both obesity and suicide ideation has risen in the last several decades among young adults in the United States (U.S.). Obesity is highly stigmatized in the U.S. and leads to discrimination and societal rejection, which suggests that obesity may increase the risk of suicide ideation. However, no U.S. population-representative studies to date have investigated the relationship between body weight and suicide ideation among young adults. We make this contribution by analyzing data from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). Our results indicate obesity is not related to suicide ideation among young men or young women and overweight young men have lower odds of suicide ideation than normal weight young men. We speculate that these findings may be attributable to the very high U.S. overweight and obesity prevalence, which has made obesity more common despite stigmatization.
在过去几十年中，美国年轻人中肥胖和自杀意念的发生率都有所上升。在美国，肥胖受到高度污名化，会导致歧视和社会排斥，这表明肥胖可能会增加自杀意念的风险。然而，迄今为止，尚无美国具有人口代表性的研究调查年轻人的体重与自杀意念之间的关系。我们通过分析“青少年到成人健康全国纵向研究”（Add Health）第三波的数据做出了这一贡献。我们的结果表明，肥胖与年轻男性或年轻女性的自杀意念无关，超重的年轻男性产生自杀意念的几率低于正常体重的年轻男性。我们推测，这些发现可能归因于美国极高的超重和肥胖发生率，尽管存在污名化，但肥胖已变得更为常见。
