目的探讨非裔美国人社区大学生的身体质量指数(BMI)与生活方式因素之间的关系。方法：以18~25岁非裔美国人青年为研究对象，于2017年3月至2017年11月期间参加调查。对调查对象的体重指数、身体形象、辨别力、社会角色、情绪和信息支持、营养知识、体育锻炼等进行分析。平均年龄20.1+/-2.0岁。BMI=25和BMI<；25的个体在社会角色满意度、歧视以及情感或信息支持方面没有显著差异。超重/肥胖的人比正常体重的人在身体形象上给自己的评分更高。在调整各种因素后，理想的身体形象与BMI之间的关联得以维持。结论：这是一个独特的人群，他们在减肥干预方面有独特的需求。身体形象和BMI之间的强烈关系表明，将身体形象纳入干预设计可能有助于减肥。
Objective The goal was to examine associations between body mass index (BMI) and lifestyle factors in African American community college students.Methods:Young adults, 18-25, who identified as African American were eligible to participate from 3/17 to 11/17. BMI, body image, discrimination, social roles, emotional and informational support, nutrition knowledge, and physical activity were assessed.Results:Data from 323 students were analyzed. The mean age was 20.1 +/- 2.0 years. There were no significant differences between individuals with BMI >= 25 and BMI < 25 on social role satisfaction, discrimination, and emotional or informational support. Overweight/obese individuals rated themselves higher on body image than normal weight individuals. The association between ideal body image and BMI sustained after adjusting for various factors.Conclusions:This is a unique population and they have unique needs in weight loss interventions. The strong relationship between body image and BMI suggests that incorporating body image into intervention design may assist in weight loss.
