국문 초록

肥胖的增长已经达到流行病的程度，成为中国最严重的公共卫生问题之一，人们对肥胖的偏见也在增加。但就中国而言，BMI 和收入之间的关系还没有得到研究。本文揭示了收入与身体质量指数BMI (Body Mass index)之间存在显著的正相关，以及男女之间的差异。这项研究一定程度上弥补了相关前研究的缺憾，并提供了性别之间BMI 关系的分析和定量数据。研究还考察了工作地点、婚姻状况、工作经验、工作类型和BMI 稳定性等变量如何影响和降低BMI-收入关系的显著性。

영문 초록

The growth of obesity has reached epidemic levels, becoming one of China’s most severe public health issues, while prejudice against obesity is also on the rise. However, the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and income remains underexplored in China. This study unveils a positive correlation between income and BMI, highlighting gender disparities. It contributes to existing literature by providing analytical and quantitative insights into the BMI-income relationship by gender. Moreover, it examines how variables such as workplace location, marital status, work experience, job type, and BMI stability affect and diminish the significance of the BMI-income relationship in China.
