Marital status is an influence on body weight. Changes in marital status and body weight were examined in the National Survey of Personal Health Practices and Consequences, a telephone survey of 2,436 adults interviewed twice approximately 1 year apart. Two statistical methods for analyzing weight change were compared, and both produced similar results: regression analysis of weight change and regression analysis of weight at follow-up controlling for baseline weight. The findings revealed that women who entered marriage had greater weight change than women who remained married. Analysis of weight gain and weight loss separately showed that women who became married lost less weight than those who remained married. For men, there were no statistically significant relationships between marital change and weight change over a 1-year period. These findings support other literature showing that marital status plays a role in body weight changes. The results suggest gender differences may exist in the rate of body weight change after marriage, with more immediate changes in women than men.
婚姻状况对体重有影响。在“个人健康行为与后果全国调查”中，对婚姻状况和体重变化进行了研究。该调查通过电话访谈了2436名成年人，大约相隔1年进行了两次访谈。比较了两种分析体重变化的统计方法，两种方法得出的结果相似：体重变化的回归分析以及在控制基线体重的情况下对随访时体重进行的回归分析。研究结果显示，步入婚姻的女性比维持婚姻的女性体重变化更大。分别对体重增加和体重减轻进行分析表明，结婚的女性比维持婚姻的女性体重减轻得更少。对于男性而言，在1年的时间里，婚姻状况变化与体重变化之间不存在统计学上的显著关系。这些研究结果支持了其他文献表明婚姻状况在体重变化中起作用的观点。结果表明，婚后体重变化率可能存在性别差异，女性的变化比男性更迅速。
