In a sample of Norwegian adolescents (n = 1117) 27, 4% of the girls and 9% of the boys reported that they were dieting. Using multiple regression analyses, we were able to predict 50% of girls dieting behavior and 24% of boys dieting behavior. Psychological concerns relating to weight and eating (WEC) as well as perceptions of feeling fatter than others were the only significant predictors of dieting in girls, whilst dieting in boys could also be predicted by their Body Mass Index. Dieting girls who scored high on the Weight and Eating Concerns Inventory were found to suffer constipation and binge eating attacks more often than other dieting girls. This was taken as an indication that these girls were at risk of developing an eating disorder.
在一个挪威青少年样本（n = 1117）中，27.4%的女孩和9%的男孩报告称他们正在节食。通过多元回归分析，我们能够预测50%的女孩节食行为和24%的男孩节食行为。与体重和饮食相关的心理担忧（WEC）以及感觉比其他人胖的认知是女孩节食的唯一显著预测因素，而男孩节食还可以通过他们的体重指数来预测。在体重与饮食担忧量表上得分高的节食女孩比其他节食女孩更常出现便秘和暴饮暴食发作。这被视为这些女孩有发展为饮食失调症风险的一个迹象。
