目前尚不清楚最近体重增加趋势对美国体重社会差距扩大的影响。使用交叉的方法来研究不平等，纵向和全国代表性的美国人的改变生活的研究（1986年至2001年/2002年），我们研究的社会差距在体重快速增加的时间在美国的身体质量指数轨迹。研究结果揭示了性别、种族、社会经济地位和年龄的复杂互动效应，并为社会差距的扩大提供了证据，特别是在年轻人中。最值得注意的是，在研究期间年龄在25-39岁至45-54岁之间的个体中，低学历和低收入的黑人女性的BMI增长最大，而高学历和高收入的白色男性的BMI增长最少。这些新发现强调了跨学科调查体重差异变化的重要性，使用了不平等和年龄的多个维度，也预示着美国BMI差异的增加。S.成人人口。
The implications of recent weight gain trends for widening social disparities in body weight in the United States are unclear. Using an intersectional approach to studying inequality, and the longitudinal and nationally representative American's Changing Lives study (1986-2001/2002), we examine social disparities in body mass index trajectories during a time of rapid weight gain in the United States. Results reveal complex interactive effects of gender, race, socioeconomic position and age, and provide evidence for increasing social disparities, particularly among younger adults. Most notably, among individuals who aged from 25-39 to 45-54 during the study interval, low-educated and low-income black women experienced the greatest increase in BMI, while high-educated and high-income white men experienced the least BMI growth. These new findings highlight the importance of investigating changing disparities in weight intersectionally, using multiple dimensions of inequality as well as age, and also presage increasing BMI disparities in the U. S. adult population.
