Socioeconomic status and weight control practices among 20- to 45-year-old women.
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES. This study examined the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and weight control practices in women. METHODS. SES, defined by family income, was examined in an economically diverse sample of 998 women in relation to dieting practices by means of multivariate regression analyses controlling for age, ethnicity, smoking, and body mass index. RESULTS. SES was positively associated with healthy, but not unhealthy, weight control practices; inversely related to energy and fat intake; and positively associated with weight concern and perceived social support for healthy eating and exercise. SES gradients were particularly striking at the low end of the income distribution (i.e., family income < or = $10,000 per year). The SES gradient in body mass index persisted in analyses controlling for attitudes and behaviors. CONCLUSIONS. Economic deprivation may contribute to high rates of obesity among lower SES women. The reasons for this require further research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
