520 $a African-American women are disproportionately affected by overweight and obesity. There are many contributing factors such as chronic stress, the type of coping strategy used and perceived social support.
520 $a The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between psychological chronic stress and body mass index (BMI) in African-American paraprofessional females. Stress-driven eating as a mediator in the relationship between chronic stress and BMI and social support as a moderator in the relationship between stress-driven eating and BMI were examined.
520 $a Participants were 90 African-American female employees at a large hospital in Baltimore, Maryland aged 18 to 50 years old, whose jobs required an A.A. degree or less.
520 $a BMI was the dependent variable. Independent variables were chronic stress and perceived ethnic discrimination.
520 $a Findings showed that the three most salient stressors for these women were finances, work, and family/friends. Seventy percent of the women consumed high fat diets, ninety percent of the sample had BMI levels greater than 25 kg/m2, with higher levels for young single women and those who identified work as a stressor.
520 $a Ethnic Discrimination was found to be a form of chronic stress and perceived chronic stress, even when low, was significantly correlated with increased BMI. Physical exercise and poor perceived health status were significantly correlated with chronic stress and physical exercise (not stress-driven eating) mediated the relationship between chronic stress and BMI.
520 $a Increased social support had significant relationships with decreased chronic stress and ethnic discrimination and with increased physical exercise and coping, but was not a moderator after secondary appraisal.
520 $a These results imply the need for behavioral and occupational health practitioners to include strategies that impact eating habits and increase physical exercise, and to consider health perceptions related to these variables in future obesity prevention initiatives for African-American females.
520 $a This study contributes to the Healthy People 2010 focus area of obesity prevention and provides evidence based research needed to develop and implement obesity prevention programs.
