Using 2002-2018 German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) data for German adults aged 18 + , this study measures changes in the body mass index (BMI) distribution and obesity inequality to estimate the relation between the latter and subjective well-being. In addition to documenting a significant association between the various measures of obesity inequality and subjective well-being, especially among women, we show a significant increase in obesity inequality, particularly among females and those with low education and/or low income. This rising inequality points to the need to combat obesity through initiatives targeted at specific sociodemographic groups.
利用德国成年人（年龄在 18 岁及以上）的 2002-2018 年社会经济面板数据（GSOEP），本研究衡量了体重指数（BMI）分布和肥胖不平等的变化，以评估后者与主观幸福感之间的关系。除了记录肥胖不平等的各种衡量标准与主观幸福感之间的显著关联，尤其是在女性中，我们还发现肥胖不平等程度显著增加，尤其是在女性、受教育程度低和/或收入低的人群中。这种不平等程度的上升表明，需要通过针对特定社会人口群体的举措来对抗肥胖。
