The present study revealed the existence of dual burden of underweight (35.5%) and overweight (5.1%) among the GNM students with mean body mass index of 20.14 and no obesity. The prevalence of faulty weight perception was 38.6% and was found to be weighted towards feeling higher weight. This accounted for the relatively lower prevalence of perceived underweight (24.4%) perceived normal weight (50%) and higher prevalence of perceived overweight (25.6%) compared to actual weight status based on body mass index.
本研究揭示,在平均体重指数为20.14且无肥胖症的GNM学生中,存在体重过轻(35.5%)和超重(5.1%)的双重负担。体重感知错误的患病率为38.6%,且发现倾向于感觉自己体重更高。与基于体重指数的实际体重状况相比,这导致了感知体重过轻(24.4%)、感知正常体重(50%)的患病率相对较低,以及感知超重(25.6%)的患病率较高。
