| Abstract | Weight stigma is a pervasive problem for Americans, but little is known about its impact on the health of Asian Americans. Authors examined the relationship between weight stigma and cortisol and whether acculturation moderated this relationship. Asian Americans (n = 166) with overweight or obesity completed questionnaires and provided a 50-mg hair sample to assay cortisol. Results revealed a negative correlation between weight stigma and cortisol. However, this was no longer significant after controlling of relevant covariates. The level of acculturation did not significantly moderate this relationship. The non-significant relationships among weight stigma, cortisol, and acculturation are discussed along with future directions. |
