Modernization and migration have biological as well as social effects on people. In this study, 2657 Samoan adults from Western Samoa, American Samoa and Hawaii were surveyed in an attempt to examine the relationships between modernization, migration and obesity. The Samoan men showed an increase in the frequency of obesity with increasing modernity of residence or occupation. While the women in American Samoa had the highest frequency of obesity of any subsample, Samoan women also demonstrated a pattern of higher adiposity in more modern jobs. Young women tended to show a negative relationship between obesity frequency and education, with college-educated women having the lowest average levels of adiposity. Time since migration to Hawaii was not found to exert a major effect on frequency of obesity.
现代化和移民对人们有着生理和社会方面的影响。在这项研究中，对来自西萨摩亚、美属萨摩亚和夏威夷的2657名萨摩亚成年人进行了调查，旨在研究现代化、移民与肥胖之间的关系。萨摩亚男性的肥胖发生率随着居住或职业的现代化程度提高而增加。虽然美属萨摩亚的女性在所有子样本中肥胖发生率最高，但萨摩亚女性在从事更现代化工作时也表现出更高的肥胖程度。年轻女性的肥胖发生率与教育程度呈负相关，受过大学教育的女性平均肥胖程度最低。未发现迁移到夏威夷后的时间对肥胖发生率有重大影响。
