College freshman stress and weight change: differences by gender.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To examine how stress and health-related behaviors affect freshman weight change by gender. METHODS:Three hundred ninety-six freshmen completed a 40-item health behavior survey and height and weight were collected at baseline and follow-up. RESULTS:Average weight change was 5.04 lbs for males, 5.49 lbs for females. Weight gain was related to increased alcohol consumption (P=0.014) in men and increased workload (P<0.001) in women. Weight loss was associated with lower academic confidence at baseline (P=0.009) and peer pressure modified by alcohol increase (P=0.025) in men, and fruit/vegetable consumption at baseline (P=0.015) in women. CONCLUSIONS:Gender-specific approaches to weight management in this population are needed.
