TL;DR
Overall, Black and Hispanic women differed little in their self-reports of body image, eating-disordered features, and depressive affect, and eating concerns and depressive affects emerged as significant independent predictors of body images for both ethnic groups.
Abstract
Overall, Black and Hispanic women differed little in their self-reports of body image, eating-disordered features, and depressive affect. Higher weight was associated with a general pattern of increased body image concerns and features of eating disorders in both groups and with binge eating in Black women. Eating concerns and depressive affect emerged as significant independent predictors of body image for both ethnic groups.
