description This study sought to examine sex and ethnicity/race differences in the associations between self-esteem, weight status, and trying to lose weight among young adults in the United States. Data were drawn from Wave III (2001/2002) of the US National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health public-use sample). Body mass index (BMI) was measured during in-home visits. Weight-loss patterns, self-esteem, and sociodemographics were assessed via self-reports. Logistic regression models were fitted among 4,594 young adults who were aged 21.8 (SD=1.8) years. Obesity was associated with relatively poor self-esteem among both African American (P=.007) and White females (P

Weight-loss patterns, self-esteem, and sociodemographics were assessed via self-reports. Logistic regression models were fitted among 4,594 young adults who were aged 21.8 (SD=1.8) years. Obesity was associated with relatively poor self-esteem among both African American (P=.007) and White females (P&lt;.006). In comparison to not trying to lose weight, trying to lose weight was associated with poorer self-esteem among normal-weight (OR=1.23, 95% CI=1.03-1.47) and overweight (OR=1.36, 95% CI=1.07-1.72) White females, but not among White females with obesity (OR=1.19, 95% CI=.92-1.55), African American females (OR=.81, 95% CI=.57-1.17), or males (OR=1.00, 95% CI=.88-1.14). The decision to lose weight was linked with poor self-esteem solely among normal-weight and overweight White females. African American and White females with obesity presented with relatively poor self-esteem, but their decision to lose weight was not linked with their self-esteem. More studies are needed to understand the psychological mechanism behind the decision to lose weight among White females with obesity, African American females, and males.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1049-510X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1945-0826</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.18865/ed.29.3.485</identifier><identifier>PMID: 31367169</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Ethnicity &amp; Disease, Inc</publisher><subject>Original Report: Cardiovascular Disease and Risk Factors</subject><ispartof>Ethnicity &amp; disease, 2019, Vol.29 (3), p.485-494</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 2019, Ethnicity &amp; Disease, Inc. 2019</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c368t-f23b279c7abef71719cba33fbbe602d300c0e1d2657faf4e4279fbb8d0e365273</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/48668475$$EPDF$$P50$$Gjstor$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/48668475$$EHTML$$P50$$Gjstor$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,727,780,784,803,885,4024,27923,27924,27925,53791,53793,58017,58250</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31367169$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Elran-Barak, Roni</creatorcontrib><title>Self-Esteem, Weight Status, and Trying to Lose Weight During Young Adulthood: The Roles of Sex and Ethnicity/Race</title><title>Ethnicity &amp; disease</title><addtitle>Ethn Dis</addtitle><description>This study sought to examine sex and ethnicity/race differences in the associations between self-esteem, weight status, and trying to lose weight among young adults in the United States.
