以前的研究报告说，心理压力与更多的食物消费有关，特别是高脂肪食物的消费。我们不知道有任何研究调查了非裔美国人（AAs）的压力诱发饮食。本研究的目的是研究感知压力和高脂肪饮食行为之间的关系，在一个样本的AA，检查这种关系是否更强的超重和肥胖的参与者，并检查是否随意膳食计划调解感知压力和高脂肪饮食行为之间的关系。来自大都市地区的159名成年人完成了感知压力量表（PSS-10），饮食行为模式问卷（EBPQ），人口统计学问卷，并使用BMI评估体重。感知压力与随意计划和情绪化饮食有关，但与整个样本中的其他高脂肪饮食领域无关。这些发现适用于超重和肥胖的参与者，并增加了甜食的零食。高脂肪饮食行为不介导的随意膳食计划。这些发现与其他研究一致，这些研究表明压力和饮食之间存在联系。高脂肪消费和肥胖的长期干预措施应包括检查AA之间的感知压力。
Previous studies have reported that psychological stress is associated with greater food consumption, particularly consumption of high fat foods. We are unaware of any studies that have examined stress-induced eating among African Americans (AAs). The goals of the current study were to examine the relationship between perceived stress and high fat eating behaviors in a sample of AAs, to examine whether this relationship is stronger among overweight and obese participants, and to examine whether haphazard meal planning mediates the relationship between perceived stress and high fat eating behaviors. One hundred fifty-nine adults from a metropolitan area completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the Eating Behaviors Pattern Questionnaire (EBPQ), a demographic questionnaire, and body mass was assessed with BMI. Perceived stress was associated with haphazard planning and emotional eating, but not related to other high fat eating domains in the overall sample. These findings held for overweight and obese participants with the addition of snacking on sweets. High fat eating behaviors were not mediated by haphazard meal planning. These findings are consistent with other studies which demonstrate a link between stress and eating. Long-term interventions for high fat consumption and obesity should include an examination of perceived stress among AAs.
