The overall objective of this grant application is to continue the longitudinal investigation of the development of obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors on a large cohort (N=2379) of black and white girls who were enrolled at age 9 and 10 in the NHLBI Growth and Health Study (NGHS) at three centers, and are presently being followed through age 15-16. During this period most of the cohort have reached maturation, and racial differences in obesity have become more pronounced. However, racial differences in CVD risk factors associated with adult obesity were not as yet evident. Continuing the longitudinal investigation for 3 more years will follow the cohort into young adulthood, providing insight on the factors that affect obesity and CVD risk factors in late adolescence and early adulthood, and how they differ between black and white females. It is important to measure behaviors such as cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, and poor diet as the girls enter the age when they are adopting these high-risk behaviors, and relate them to obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors. The examination of psychosocial risk factors will also be an objective of NGHS III. We expect that factors such as perceptions of obesity risks, body satisfaction, preferred body image, dieting practices, cultural preferences, changes in self-esteem, emotional influences on eating patterns, and eating disorder risk factors affect obesity and weight maintenance. Racial differences in these parameters will be associated with obesity development and also be related to socioeconomic status.

这项拨款申请的总体目标是继续 肥胖与心血管疾病发展的纵向研究 一个大型黑人和白色人队列（N=2379）的心血管疾病（CVD）风险因素 9岁和10岁时参加NHLBI生长和健康的女孩 研究（NGHS）在三个中心，目前正在跟踪通过年龄 15-16. 在此期间，大多数群体已达到成熟， 肥胖症的种族差异变得更加明显。 然而，种族 与成人肥胖相关的CVD危险因素的差异并不像 但很明显 将继续进行为期3年的纵向调查， 队列进入青年期，提供有关影响因素的见解 青春期后期和成年早期的肥胖和CVD危险因素，以及 黑人女性和白色女性之间的差异。 重要的是要 测量行为，如吸烟，身体不活动，和贫穷 当女孩们进入收养这些高危儿童的年龄时， 行为，并将其与肥胖和其他心血管风险联系起来 因素 心理社会风险因素的检查也将是一个目标， NGHS III. 我们预计，诸如对肥胖风险的看法， 身体满意度，偏好的身体形象，饮食习惯，文化 偏好，自尊的变化，情绪对饮食的影响 饮食失调的危险因素影响肥胖和体重 上维护 这些参数的种族差异将与 与肥胖的发生发展有关，也与社会经济地位有关。
