초록/해제  
요약Obesity is a national epidemic in the U.S., affecting approximately 14.7 million children and adolescents aged 2-19 years. Hispanic/Latino (hereafter referred to as Latine) adolescents experience the highest rates of obesity among all racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., increasing their risks for diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and premature death in adulthood. Increasing trajectories of BMI beginning in childhood have been related to several negative health outcomes in adulthood (e.g., diabetes, CVD). Adolescence is a critical period of development when health behaviors are formed and can significantly influence the trajectory of health into adulthood. Several risk factors for obesity among adolescents have been extensively studied, including low socioeconomic status, diet, and physical inactivity. Sociocultural factors such as stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, which increase during adolescence and disproportionately affect Latine adolescents, have been related to obesity. Despite their increased risk for obesity, however, Latine adolescents remain historically underrepresented in obesity research. Moreover, perceptions of obesity as well as sociocultural risk factors and protective factors for obesity among Latine adolescents have been unexplored. Thus, the overall goal of this dissertation is to better understand the perception of obesity among Latine adolescents (aged 12-19 years), and to identify sociocultural risk and protective factors during adolescence that are associated with BMI trajectories from adolescence to early adulthood. This dissertation is organized using the three-paper option. Chapter I discusses gaps in the current evidence on overweight and obesity among Latine adolescents. Chapter II presents findings from a scoping review mapping factors associated with being overweight and obesity in this population. Chapter III describes a qualitative descriptive study exploring knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of obesity. Chapter IV utilizes data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to examine whether depressive symptoms and psychological distress are associated with increasing BMI from adolescence to adulthood and whether peer support modifies these associations. Finally, Chapter V summarizes the dissertation's findings and discusses its future research and policy implications.

■520    ▼aObesity  is  a  national  epidemic  in  the  U.S.,  affecting  approximately  14.7  million  children  and  adolescents  aged  2-19  years.  Hispanic/Latino  (hereafter  referred  to  as  Latine)  adolescents  experience  the  highest  rates  of  obesity  among  all  racial  and  ethnic  groups  in  the  U.S.,  increasing  their  risks  for  diabetes,  cardiovascular  disease  (CVD),  and  premature  death  in  adulthood.  Increasing  trajectories  of  BMI  beginning  in  childhood  have  been  related  to  several  negative  health  outcomes  in  adulthood  (e.g.,  diabetes,  CVD).  Adolescence  is  a  critical  period  of  development  when  health  behaviors  are  formed  and  can  significantly  influence  the  trajectory  of  health  into  adulthood.  Several  risk  factors  for  obesity  among  adolescents  have  been  extensively  studied,  including  low  socioeconomic  status,  diet,  and  physical  inactivity.  Sociocultural  factors  such  as  stress,  anxiety,  and  depressive  symptoms,  which  increase  during  adolescence  and  disproportionately  affect  Latine  adolescents,  have  been  related  to  obesity.  Despite  their  increased  risk  for  obesity,  however,  Latine  adolescents  remain  historically  underrepresented  in  obesity  research.  Moreover,  perceptions  of  obesity  as  well  as  sociocultural  risk  factors  and  protective  factors  for  obesity  among  Latine  adolescents  have  been  unexplored.  Thus,  the  overall  goal  of  this  dissertation  is  to  better  understand  the  perception  of  obesity  among  Latine  adolescents  (aged  12-19  years),  and  to  identify  sociocultural  risk  and  protective  factors  during  adolescence  that  are  associated  with  BMI  trajectories  from  adolescence  to  early  adulthood.  This  dissertation  is  organized  using  the  three-paper  option.  Chapter  I  discusses  gaps  in  the  current  evidence  on  overweight  and  obesity  among  Latine  adolescents.  Chapter  II  presents  findings  from  a  scoping  review  mapping  factors  associated  with  being  overweight  and  obesity  in  this  population.  Chapter  III  describes  a  qualitative  descriptive  study  exploring  knowledge,  attitudes,  and  perceptions  of  obesity.  Chapter  IV  utilizes  data  from  the  National  Longitudinal  Study  of  Adolescent  to  Adult  Health  (Add  Health)  to  examine  whether  depressive  symptoms  and  psychological  distress  are  associated  with  increasing  BMI  from  adolescence  to  adulthood  and  whether  peer  support  modifies  these  associations.  Finally,  Chapter  V  summarizes  the  dissertation's  findings  and  discusses  its  future  research  and  policy  implications.
