[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS BpR0xn6b. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We investigated whether race differences in weight gain over 34 years were because of socioeconomic position (SEP) and psychosocial and behavioral factors (physical activity, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, depression, marital status, number of children). We used a life-course approach to SEP with 4 measures of SEP (childhood SEP, education, occupation, income) and a cumulative measure of SEP. Methods. We used mixed models and data collected from the Alameda County Study to examine the association between race and weight change slopes and baseline weight in men (n=1186) and women (n=1375) aged 17 to 40 years at baseline (in 1965). Results. All subjects gained weight over time. African American women weighed 4.96 kg (P<. more at baseline and gained kg weight than white women. black men weighed but did not gain men. the association of race with in women was largely because cumulative sep score. conclusions. interventions to prevent overweight obesity should begin early life target socioeconomically disadvantaged.>
