The purpose of this study was to assess dieting behavior, the number of friends who diet, and number of friends who pressure to go on a diet among a sample of 2,519 Thai adolescents. More than half of the girls (52.2%) and over one-fourth of boys (28.0%) reported going on a diet in the past 30 days. Dieting among friends was very common with only 14.2% of girls and 34.3% of boys saying none of their friends dieted. Results also showed significant associations between 1) number of friends who diet and 2) number of friends who pressure to diet with dieting behavior, body mass index (BMI), weight satisfaction, perceived body fatness, effort to look like people in the media, and frequency of thinking about wanting to be thinner in girls. In addition, several of these associations for boys were significant. The role of BMI in these relationships was also explored.
本研究的目的是在2519名泰国青少年样本中评估节食行为、节食的朋友数量以及施加节食压力的朋友数量。超过一半的女孩（52.2%）和超过四分之一的男孩（28.0%）报告称在过去30天内进行过节食。朋友间节食的情况非常普遍，只有14.2%的女孩和34.3%的男孩表示他们的朋友都不节食。结果还显示，在女孩中，1）节食的朋友数量与2）施加节食压力的朋友数量与节食行为、体重指数（BMI）、体重满意度、感知体脂、模仿媒体人物外貌的努力以及想要变瘦的思考频率之间存在显著关联。此外，其中一些关联在男孩中也很显著。还探讨了BMI在这些关系中的作用。
