Loneliness is a growing concern that has been associated with overweight and obese conditions. However, the pathophysiological pathways that link loneliness and overweight and obese conditions remain poorly understood. As such, the current study sought to investigate the association between loneliness and body mass index (BMI) in a community-based sample of overweight and obese African Americans. The second aim sought to determine if proinflammatory markers mediate the relationship between loneliness and BMI. The third aim sought to determine if the association between loneliness and BMI through proinflammatory markers varied as a function of gender. The final aim sought to determine if the association between loneliness and BMI through proinflammatory markers varied as a function of socioeconomic status. Data was collected for overweight or obese male (n=85) and female (n=77) African Americans residing in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. PROCESS was used to perform a moderated mediation analyses. Results did not reveal a significant association between loneliness and BMI. Additionally, there was no significant mediating effect of proinflammatory markers on the relationship between loneliness and BMI. Lastly, mediation effects were not moderated by gender or socioeconomic status. Findings and implications are discussed.
