Abstract
This study utilized a U.S. national dataset of sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) to examine the relationships between gender identity, sexual orientation, and overeating. Results indicate transgender/gender diverse (TGD) youth had a greater risk for overeating than their cisgender counterparts. Youth who identified their sexual orientation as queer, pansexual, or questioning were found to have greater odds of overeating compared to transgender/gender diverse (TGD) straight youth. Among ethno-racial identities, Asian SGMY had the lowest rates of overeating, while Native American and Middle Eastern/Arab SGMY presented the highest rates. Exercise and stress were explored as covariates, along with demographic factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
