这项研究确定了夏威夷成年人样本人体测量指标的种族差异，考察了不同程度的种族混合和社会经济地位（SES）对测量指标的影响。在夏威夷上过小学的成年人接受了人体测量，并回答了关于他们的教育程度、收入、年龄、文化认同、种族血统和健康状况的问卷。报告亚裔美国人文化身份的个体的平均体重指数（BMI）和腰围（WC）显著低于其他人，而夏威夷/太平洋岛民文化身份的个体的BMI和WC显著高于其他人。受教育程度，但没有报告的家庭收入和年龄，是显着相关的BMI和WC，和教育程度的差异解释了夏威夷/太平洋岛民的平均BMI和WC的增加，但没有解释较低的平均BMI和WC的亚裔美国人。较高比例的亚洲血统与较低的BMI和WC显著相关，而较高比例的夏威夷/太平洋岛民血统与BMI和WC显著相关。教育差异导致夏威夷/太平洋岛民血统比例较高的参与者BMI显著增加，但并不能完全解释亚裔美国人血统比例较高的个体BMI较低的原因。这些结果表明，太平洋岛民的肥胖率及其后遗症可能更多地是社会经济地位和生活方式的结果，而不是遗传倾向，而亚裔美国人的肥胖率较低，受社会经济因素的直接影响较小。
This study determined ethnic differences in anthropometric measures of a sample of adults in Hawaii, examining the effects of differing degrees of ethnic admixing and socioeconomic status (SES) on the measures. Adults who had attended elementary school in Hawaii underwent anthropometric measurements and answered questionnaires about their educational attainment, income, age, cultural identity, ethnic ancestry, and health. Individuals reporting Asian American cultural identity had significantly lower mean body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) than others, while those with Hawaiian/Pacific Islander cultural identity had significantly higher BMI and WC. Educational attainment, but not reported family income and age, was significantly related to BMI and WC, and differences in educational attainment accounted for the increased mean BMI and WC in Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, but did not account for the lower mean BMI and WC among Asian Americans. Higher percentage of Asian ancestry was significantly correlated with lower BMI and WC, whereas higher percentage of Hawaiian/Pacific Islander ancestry was significantly correlated with increased BMI and WC. Differences in education accounted for the significantly increased BMI in participants with a higher percentage of Hawaiian/Pacific Islander ancestry, but did not entirely account for the lower BMI in individuals with a higher percentage of Asian American ancestry. These results suggest that the high rate of obesity and its sequelae seen in Pacific Islanders may be more a result of socioeconomic status and lifestyle than of genetic propensity, while the lower rates of obesity observed in Asian American populations are less directly influenced by socioeconomic factors.
