In a population sample of 1462 middle-aged women socioeconomic data were studied in relation to obesity, assessed by a body weight index. Education, annual income, and social class were negatively correlated with weight index (WI). Husband's social class was a stronger determinant of obesity in the woman than her own class. Age of husband and number of children were significantly correlated with WI. There was also a weak correlation between being single and WI. Sick leave was not correlated to WI. Pension was correlated to WI when adjusted for age, but not when allowance was also made for social class. Age, husband's social class, education, husband's income, and number of children were independent predictors of WI among the married women. In the single women, age and own income were independent predictors of WI but not number of children, education or own social class.
在一个包含1462名中年女性的人口样本中,研究了社会经济数据与肥胖症之间的关系,肥胖症通过体重指数进行评估。教育程度、年收入和社会阶层与体重指数(WI)呈负相关。丈夫的社会阶层比女性自身的阶层更能决定其肥胖程度。丈夫的年龄和子女数量与体重指数显著相关。单身与体重指数之间也存在微弱的相关性。病假与体重指数无关。在调整年龄后,养老金与体重指数相关,但在同时考虑社会阶层时则不相关。年龄、丈夫的社会阶层、教育程度、丈夫的收入和子女数量是已婚女性体重指数的独立预测因素。在单身女性中,年龄和自身收入是体重指数的独立预测因素,但子女数量、教育程度或自身社会阶层则不是。
