Study Links Obesity to Child Abuse in Black Women
A recent study suggests there may be a link between child abuse and obesity in black women.
According to the study, severe physical and s****l abuse during childhood or the teen years predicted a 29 percent higher risk of obesity in black women. The study was led by Dr. Renée Boynton-Jarrett of Boston University.
“Our findings suggest that efforts to prevent child abuse have implications for current and future health,” Boynton-Jarrett and colleagues said in the study. “Moreover, for survivors of abuse, behavioral patterns associated with cardiovascular risk may emerge in childhood and require tailored interventions that address trauma history in addition to modification of health behaviors.”
The study included 33,298 women. Nearly 58 percent of the women reported at least one instance of s****l or physical assault or witnessed violence by age 18.
The abuse was separated into three categories: mild, moderate and severe. Mild abuse was defined as one or two instances of physical abuse and no s****l abuse. Eighteen percent of women reported this type of abuse. Moderate abuse was defined as several instances of physical abuse and one to three reports of s****l abuse. Most women, according to the study, fell in this category. Eleven percent fell into the severe abuse category which was defined as six or more episodes of physical abuse or s****l abuse four or more times.
The likelihood of obesity as an adult climbed with increasing severity of abuse.

These people who did this study should be put to sleep!!!! This is the MOST DUMBEST STUDY I’ve heard of and I’m not obese! Just darn funny.
Agree 100%
HIV is synthetic. It has been developed over a number of years and it has an affinity for people of color. What the science and medical evidence concludes is that the HIV enzyme seeks out a receptor site in the blood of the Black genome. The receptor site is the CCR5 Delta 32+ (positive) gene that all people of color have. In the same sense, on the other end of the spectrum, is the 15 percent Caucasian population of the world, which is CCR5 Delta 32-(negative) gene. That means that under no circumstances, whether HIV came through the air, intravenous drug usage or any form of s****l activity, would the virus be transferable in Caucasian sector of the world’s population, which is basically of northern European descent.
It is speculated by some experts that, in a worse case scenario, 85 percent of the world’s population could potentially perish under these designer viruses and designer synthetic biological agents. What we’re looking at here—because of this identified gene of the Black genome, this CCR5 Delta32+ (positive)—we are potentially looking at the eradication of all people of color.The bible states “My people perish for lack of knowledge. The true devil doesn’t wear red tights, a cape with horns protruding from his forehead instead, the devil incarnate are diabolical Caucasian scientist (men and women) in white lab coats.
The science community is losing it’s credibility with these made up studies. A large segment of black women are overweight due to diet, environment, and just down right don’t give a d**n what other people think.
Statisticts are tricky. An astute statistician can link anything to anyone.
This makes superficial sense for victims of s****l abuse. Deliberately making oneself less attractive as a defense mechanism may be misguided, but how does one cope with a painfully imposed subconscious fear of men?
Who and what is Culture Kritics? I believe this website, along with Black Blue Dog and others have the same news which features Black people and whose sole purpose is to show us in the worst possible light. Whites commit some of the most despicable crimes in this country, for instance monsters like Jerry Sanducky, the multiple child molester. If he was Black, it would have been a further stain on the race that we would not have been able to get rid of for decades, but he was white. Look at the book on atrocities and see whites around a camp fire while a black corpse burns or the lynchings to understand the barbarian in modern dress. Getting back to the study, first you develop the premiss then you justify it through the study. They will never stop looking for the rhythm gene.
So TRUE! Many, many African-American girls are physically and mentally abused by their mothers and sexually abused by men in the family or men in and out of the mother’s life. They don’t tell out of shame and fear.
It is time for teen girls to stop having OUT OF WEDLOCK BABIES, it dooms the mother and child to poverty.
Our girls should learn boys want s*x, they don’t want to be teen dad’s.
This is just another way to sell victimization to black woman who don’t want to be accountable for their choices. I’m sure there will be books and TV shows to come telling us this same nonsense to capitalize on the so call study.
I believe that an opinion is just that and not fact, and you have the right to have one. However, I do not agree with your opinion, but I will not attack you for your opinion. I wonder, have you ever been the victim of abuse before? If you have, then you cannot possibly feel that the abuse is the girls’ own fault. You can’t be superficial in thought and only see this study with surface level thinking. You have to look at the long term affects of child abuse. If you change your way of viewing this, and thinking about people, I guarantee you will see things differently.
So what about the other gazillions that are overweight? It’s getting to the point where I’m going to stop subscribing to yourblackworld and associated websites if they are going to continue to print this s**t.
Stop making excuses with the stupid studies. Fat people, whether they are white, black or other, are fat because they eat too much and exercise too little. Point blank. Once you are in control of your own life, you decide how fat you will be no one else.
I agree with Smith and LMoore….and I also think there is equal or even more child abuse among whites. Where do these people gets these stats anyway….probably from watching movies like “Precious” or seeing a black person discipline a child a Kmart. This is a bunch of BS and I am getting sick of this kind of reporting on this site! They haven’t checked all socio-economic levels yet they give a % on all of the African-Americans….give me a break!
This thread on a scale of one to ten deserves a minus ten.
I don’t understand why “Black Women” and not “Women”? This is what invalidates the study…
Kulture Kritic, Black Blue Dog and Your Black World are creations of Dr. Boyce Watkins, and most recently teamed up with Yvette Carnell. Dr. Watkins is a professor at Syracuse University. He and his cronies, Tavis Smiley, Cornel West and others are Black scholars who make most of their living by talking and reminding us of all the things wrong with Black people and the President. They are all Barack Obama haters because this is what n*****s do when they can’t get their way. They are mad at the President because they don’t think he’s addressing the problems in the Black community and the fact that he hasn’t invited them to the White House for a summit so they could feel important. They put down and criticize people like The Rev. Al Sharpton and call him a failure because some of the things he’s done trying to help Black people didn’t go so well. The bottom line is that they’re talking loud and saying nothing. Just like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Rielly and other right wing idiots, they make a living by creating and inciting chaos and confusion and even “brainwashing”. There is a lot of money involved in these blogs, companies pay big money to advertise on them so naturally the more you have and the more people you have visiting and the more money you make. Don’t get me wrong, certainly don’t have a problem with the good Dr. making money but I do have a problem with his methods. Confusing, dividing, brainwashing, inciting and creating chaos is not the way to go about it.
Sounds like another case of blacks exploiting blacks.
Oh h**l! Here we go with the stupid statistics bullshit again.
I can agree with this study. From an educated standpoint, abuse has long time lasting effects on girls who later become women. I like the study. However, I am laughing at the comments on here because people are looking at this the wrong way. This just further lets me know, that my suspicions about serious issues not being fully understood and ignored and looked over by a vast majority were right. We only ignore what we do not want to face, and we only read surface level. That is why we do not have a lot of black lawyers. You must look at the statistical trends of abuse, and follow the patterns of effects, and the lives of victimized women, in order to understand the study.
For me this study just reiterates why B/females can do just about anything, and use their males as the sacpegoats. Just who do you think they’re blaming for 9 out of 10 cases of the abuse they’ve suffered? B/females are the only race of females who can always blame every defect and sin they have on their males. Willie Lynch really trained these Euro-American and Jewish-American media executives right. Let alone, it’s also rubbed-off on our Aunt jemima and nanny, mammy-minded females. They fear the white male more than God.
