Most surveys of disordered eating attitudes in teenagers target females in urban areas. To help plan the distribution of treatment resources for eating disorders in British Columbia we studied male and female students in all of the high schools of a rural community.
Three hundred and ninety-six of the 2,589 students attending the four high schools within the rural community completed the EAT-26 and a demographic questionnaire.
Three hundred and eighty-one of the 396 students (96%) satisfactorily completed and returned the survey. Their ages ranged from 12 to 19 years with a mean of 15.2 years (SD=1.5 years). Fifty-nine percent of participants were female. On average, males wanted to be 6.2 kg (SD=1.2 kg) heavier and females wanted to be 2.8 kg (SD=6.5 kg) lighter and 8.3 percent of males and 17.3 percent of females scored twenty or above on the EAT-26.
The prevalence of disordered eating attitudes and behaviours in this rural setting was similar to that reported in urban communities in Canada. Disordered eating attitudes and behaviours were common in males. We conclude that there is need for treatment resources for males and that the need for treatment is as great in rural as urban communities.
大多数针对青少年饮食失调态度的调查都以上城区的女性为目标对象。为了帮助规划不列颠哥伦比亚省饮食失调治疗资源的分配，我们对一个农村社区所有高中的男女生进行了研究。
该农村社区四所高中的2589名学生中，有396名完成了EAT - 26问卷和一份人口统计学调查问卷。
396名学生中的381名（96%）圆满完成并返还了调查问卷。他们的年龄在12至19岁之间，平均年龄为15.2岁（标准差 = 1.5岁）。59%的参与者为女性。平均而言，男性希望体重增加6.2千克（标准差 = 1.2千克），女性希望体重减轻2.8千克（标准差 = 6.5千克），8.3%的男性和17.3%的女性在EAT - 26问卷上的得分达到或超过20分。
在这个农村地区，饮食失调态度和行为的患病率与加拿大城市社区报告的患病率相似。饮食失调态度和行为在男性中也很常见。我们得出结论，男性也需要治疗资源，而且农村社区对治疗的需求与城市社区一样大。
