[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS f9uzlR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We examined the association of relative weight with individual income at different levels of socioeconomic status among gainfully employed Finnish women and men. Methods : We used a population-based survey including 2068 women and 2314 men with linked income data from a taxation register. Regression analysis was used to calculate mean income levels within educational and occupational groups. Results : Compared with their normal-weight counterparts, obese women with higher education or in upper white-collar positions had significantly lower income ; a smaller income disadvantage was seen in overweight women with secondary education and in manual workers. Excess body weight was not associated with income disadvantages in men. Conclusions : Obesity is associated with a clear income disadvantage, particularly among women with higher socioeconomic status.
