Pooled data from male adult participants (n = 72,214) in the 2003-2012 California Health Interview Survey were used along with logistic regression models to estimate whether the associations between weight status and chronic diseases varied by sexual orientation identity. This study examined whether the association between weight status and four chronic diseases (heart disease, hypertension, lifetime asthma, and type 2 diabetes) varied according to sexual orientation identity among adult men, controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, and other factors.
