We sought to compare the severity and correlates of binge eating in White, Black, and Hispanic women.
Our sample consisted of 351 (55 White, 179 Black, and 117 Hispanic) women who were assessed on three proposed factors associated with binge eating (weight, depression, and ideal body image).
Our results showed that binge eating symptoms were more severe in our sample of Hispanic versus Black or White women. Across all ethnic groups, women who binged more were heavier, more depressed, and preferred a slimmer body ideal. Binge eating severity was predicted by weight and depression in Hispanics and by depression in Whites. None of the proposed factors significantly influenced binge eating in Blacks.
These results show ethnic differences in the correlates of binge eating and highlight the need for further comparative research on aberrant eating patterns.
我们试图比较白人、黑人及西班牙裔女性暴饮暴食的严重程度及其相关因素。
我们的样本包括351名女性(55名白人、179名黑人、117名西班牙裔),她们接受了与暴饮暴食相关的三个因素(体重、抑郁和理想体型)的评估。
我们的结果显示,在我们的样本中,西班牙裔女性的暴饮暴食症状比黑人或白人女性更严重。在所有种族群体中,暴饮暴食次数更多的女性体重更重、抑郁程度更高,且更喜欢更苗条的理想体型。西班牙裔女性的暴饮暴食严重程度由体重和抑郁预测,白人女性则由抑郁预测。所提出的因素均未对黑人的暴饮暴食产生显著影响。
这些结果显示了暴饮暴食相关因素的种族差异,并突出了对异常饮食模式进行进一步比较研究的必要性。
