BACKGROUND:During the transition to adulthood many young adults become obese for the first time in their lives, yet relatively little research has examined why people in this life phase become obese. This study examines what career and family life-course pathways during the transition to adulthood are related to developing obesity in young adulthood. METHODS:We use data from the NLSY97, a U.S. nationally representative panel survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics between 1997 to 2013 (N = 4688), and apply multichannel sequence analysis in order to identify clusters of typical career-family pathways during the transition to adulthood (age 17 to 27), and subsequently investigate whether these pathways are associated with becoming obese at the end of young adulthood (age 28), using logistic regression. We control for obesity at age 17 and family background factors (race, parental education, parental income, and family structure). To take into account the fact that the transition to adulthood has a different meaning for men and for women, we also interact career-family clusters with gender. RESULTS:For women, pathways characterized by college education, early home leaving, and postponement of family formation decrease the probability of becoming obese. For men, pathways characterized by early marriage increase the probability of becoming obese. CONCLUSIONS:The results highlight the importance of gender differences in how career and family pathways are related to becoming obese in young adulthood.

背景:在成年过渡期间,许多年轻人是一生中首次肥胖,但相对较少的研究调查了为何这一生阶段的人肥胖。这项研究探讨了成年过渡期间的职业和家庭生活历程与年轻成年肥胖有关。
方法:我们使用NLSY97的数据,该数据是美国劳工统计局在1997年至2013年间进行的美国全国代表性面板调查(N = 4688),并进行了多通道序列分析,以识别在此期间典型的职业-家庭途径的聚类。过渡到成年(17至27岁),然后使用逻辑回归研究这些途径是否与年轻成年末(28岁)肥胖有关。我们控制17岁时的肥胖和家庭背景因素(种族,父母的教育程度,父母的收入和家庭结构)。考虑到向成年过渡对男人和女人具有不同含义的事实,我们还将职业家庭集群与性别互动。
结果:对于女性而言,以大学学历,提早离开家乡和推迟家庭组建为特征的途径降低了肥胖的可能性。对于男性而言,以早婚为特征的途径增加了肥胖的可能性。
结论:结果突出了性别差异在职业和家庭途径与年轻成年肥胖相关的重要性。
