Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To investigate (1) weight maintenance among black and white participants and (2) psychosocial correlates (eg, healthy eating barriers, self-efficacy, stress) of weight maintenance 18 months after behavioral weight-loss treatment. METHODS:Linear and logistic regression examined weight change and unsuccessful weight maintenance (>5% weight gain) among 107 black and white adults. RESULTS:After controlling for socio-demographics, differences in weight maintenance between ethnicities were not generally noted. Healthy eating barriers and stressful life events were associated with weight gain, P<.04. CONCLUSIONS:Strategies to cope with stressful events and overcome barriers to eating healthfully are needed for weight maintenance among both ethnicities.
