西方工业化国家的研究报告了社会经济地位与超重/肥胖之间的负相关。相比之下，亚洲新兴工业化国家的研究很少考察这种关联。在此背景下，我们研究了新加坡华人成年人的社会经济地位与性别超重/肥胖之间的关系。对居住在新加坡丹戎巴葛区的942名参与者（57.3%为女性，40-81岁）进行了一项基于人群的横断面研究。教育、收入和住房类型被用作社会经济地位指标。主要关注的结局是超重/肥胖（n=313），按体重指数分类为超重（25-29.9 kg/m2）或肥胖（≥30 kg/m2）。超重/肥胖的患病率男性为33%，女性为34%。在男性中，SES指标与超重/肥胖无关。在女性中，SES指标与超重/肥胖呈负相关。与中等/高等教育女性相比，小学/初中教育女性超重/肥胖的比值比（OR）（95%置信区间[CI]）为2.5（1.5-4.0）。与每月收入>新加坡元（SGD）1，000的女性相比，收入≤SGD 1，000的女性超重/肥胖的OR（95% CI）为2.5（1.4-4.5）。与居住在大型公共公寓或私人住宅的女性相比，居住在小型/中型公共公寓的女性超重/肥胖的OR（95%CI）为1.8（1.2-2.7）。较低的社会经济地位，定义为教育，收入和住房类型与超重/肥胖的新加坡华人妇女。
Studies from industrialized Western countries have reported an inverse association between socioeconomic status and overweight/obesity. In contrast, few studies from newly industrialized countries in Asia have examined this association. In this context, we examined the association between socioeconomic status and overweight/obesity by gender in Chinese adults in Singapore. A population-based cross sectional study of 942 participants (57.3% women, 40-81 years) residing in the Tanjong Pagar district of Singapore was conducted. Education, income, and housing type were used as socioeconomic status indicators. Main outcome-of-interest was the presence of overweight/obesity (n=313), classified by body mass index as overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2), or obese (≥30 kg/m2) The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 33% in men and 34% in women. In men, SES indicators were not associated with overweight/obesity. In women, SES indicators were found to be inversely associated with overweight/ obesity. Compared to women with secondary/higher education, the odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of overweight/obesity in women with primary/lower education was 2.5 (1.5-4.0). Compared to women earning > Singapore dollar (SGD) 1,000 per month, the OR (95% CI) of overweight/obesity among women earning ≤SGD 1,000 was 2.5 (1.4-4.5). Compared to women living in large size public apartments or private houses, the OR (95% CI) of overweight/obesity in women living in small/medium size public apartments was 1.8 (1.2-2.7). Lower socioeconomic status, defined by education, income, and housing type was associated with overweight/obesity in Chinese Singaporean women.
