摘要
Nous examinons la relation entre le statut socio-economique (SES), les caracteristiques socio-economiques (SES), le style de vie (consommation de fruits et legumes, exercice physique, usage du tabac, et consommation d'alcool) et l'indice de masse corporelle (IMC) sur la base des donnees de l'Enquete sur la sante dans les collectivites canadiennes 2.1. Nous explorons deux differentes mesures socio-economiques, education et revenu, afin d'elucider les explications materielles et culturelles de la relation SES-IMC. Les resultats varient de maniere significative entre les genres, degageant la complexite de la relation entre SES, les facteurs socio-demographiques et de style de vie, et l'IMC. Nous suggerons que la masse corporelle demeure un symbole de statut qui differe entre les genres, et que les facteurs culturaux et psycho-sociaux sont peut-etre plus importants que les facteurs materiaux en perpetuant cette inegalite dans le domaine de la sante.We examine the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors (fruit and vegetable intake, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption), and body mass index (BMI) using the Canadian Community Health Survey 2.1. We explore two different measures of SES, education and income, to elucidate material and cultural explanations of the SES-BMI relationship. Results vary significantly by gender, highlighting the complexity of the relationship between SES, sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, and BMI. We suggest that body weight is still a gendered status symbol, and that cultural and psychosocial factors may be more important than material factors in perpetuating this health inequality.
