To describe body size satisfaction and agreement among low-income, urban, African-American adolescents, and female caregivers.
Two hundred and fifteen adolescent-caregiver pairs completed measures of demographics, anthropometrics, and body size satisfaction.
Adolescent-caregiver agreement on body size satisfaction varied by body mass index (BMI) category. Among normal weight adolescents, 61% of adolescent-caregivers agreed that current body size was ideal. Among adolescents at risk for overweight, 38% of adolescent-caregivers agreed that current body size was ideal, and 38% were discordant with adolescents wanting to be thinner and caregivers satisfied with current body size. Among overweight adolescents, adolescent-caregiver agreement was 67%; 52% agreed the adolescent should be thinner and 15% agreed current body size was ideal.
Body size satisfaction is related to BMI category for adolescents and caregivers, but adolescents have a lower threshold. Encouraging caregivers to elicit their adolescents' views on body size satisfaction may enable caregivers to support their adolescents in addressing weight-related issues.
描述低收入城市非裔美国青少年及其女性照料者对体型的满意度及一致性。
215对青少年-照料者完成了人口统计学、人体测量学及体型满意度测量。
青少年与照料者在体型满意度上的一致性因体重指数（BMI）类别而异。在体重正常的青少年中，61%的青少年-照料者认为当前体型理想。在有超重风险的青少年中，38%的青少年-照料者认为当前体型理想，38%的情况是青少年希望变瘦而照料者对当前体型满意，双方意见不一致。在超重青少年中，青少年-照料者的一致性为67%；52%的人认为青少年应该变瘦，15%的人认为当前体型理想。
青少年及其照料者的体型满意度与BMI类别有关，但青少年的标准更低。鼓励照料者了解青少年对体型满意度的看法，可能有助于照料者支持青少年解决与体重相关的问题。
