まとめ
肥満のヒスパニック系成人は,体重に関連する偏見がより多く示され,白人成人はより多くの汚名を経験し,黒人成人は,ネガティブなバイアスの内在化が低く示されました. 発見は,文化的に敏感な肥満の介入に情報を与えます.
科学分野:
- 健康と病気の社会学
- 健康格差 研究 研究
- 肥満に関する研究
背景:
- 肥満の米国ヒスパニック系,非ヒスパニック系白人 (NHW),非ヒスパニック系黒人 (NHB) の成人が経験する体重の汚名に関する証拠は限られている.
- この研究では,これらの多様なグループにおける偏見,汚名,そしてネガティブなバイアスの内在化を比較しています.
研究 の 目的:
- 肥満のヒスパニック系,NHW系,NHB系成人の間で,体重関連の汚名,偏見,そしてネガティブなバイアスの内化について調査し,比較する.
- 体重バイアスの認識と経験における民族的な違いを特定する.
主な方法:
- 2つの学術センターで,肥満 (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) と診断された成人 (≥18歳) を対象に観察研究が行われました.
- 検証されたアンケート調査が使用されました:嫌悪感/偏見に対する反脂肪態度 (AFA),経験の汚名付けのための簡潔な汚名付け状況インベントリ (SSI-B),負の体重バイアスの内部化のための体重バイアス内部化スケール (WBIS).
主要な成果:
- 296人の参加者 (42%ヒスパニック,23%NHW,35%NHB) のうち,72%が,肥満ではなく,過体重であると認識しました.
- ヒスパニック系成人は,最も高い嫌悪感/偏見 (AFAスコア) を報告した.
- NHWの成人は最も汚名を伴う経験 (SSI-Bスコア) を報告し,NHBの成人はネガティブなバイアスの内在化が最も低いことを示しました (WBISスコア).
結論:
- この多様なコホートにおける肥満の成人のほとんどは,自分自身を過体重であると認識していました.
- 重量に関連する偏見,汚名経験,偏見の内在化において,有意な民族的差異が観察されました.
- 発見は,肥満の個人を対象とした文化に合わせた教育と介入プログラムの必要性を強調しています.

Obesity
1.4K
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Weighted Mean
6.6K
While taking the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean of a sample data set, equal importance is assigned to all the data points. However, all the values may not always be equally important in some data sets. An intrinsic bias might make it more important to give more weightage to specific values over others.
For example, consider the number of goals scored in the matches of a tournament. While computing the average number of goals scored in the tournament, it may be more important to...

Cell Diversity

The concept of a cell started with microscopic observations of dead cork tissue by Robert Hooke in 1665. Hooke coined the term "cell" based on the resemblance of the small subdivisions in the cork to the rooms that monks inhabited, called cells. About ten years later, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek became the first person to observe the living and moving cells under a microscope. In the century that followed, the theory that cells represented the basic unit of life developed.

Diversity of Archaea II
555
Archaea, one of the three domains of life, exhibit remarkable diversity and adaptability, thriving in both extreme and moderate environments. Historically, most identified archaea have been classified into two major phyla: Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. However, recent molecular studies have expanded this classification to include three additional phyla: Thaumarchaeota, Nanoarchaeota, and Korarchaeota, each exhibiting unique characteristics and ecological roles.Thaumarchaeota: Mesophiles...

Diversity of Protists I
1.2K
Excavata is a diverse group of protists that includes both chemoorganotrophic and phototrophic species, with some thriving in anaerobic environments. Among the key groups within Excavata are diplomonads and parabasalids, which are flagellated protists that lack mitochondria and chloroplasts. These microorganisms typically inhabit anoxic environments, such as the intestines of animals, where they exist either symbiotically or as parasites, relying on fermentation for energy production. Some...
