To assess the association between weight dissatisfaction, weight status, and weight loss in Mexican-American children participating in a weight management program.
Participants included 265 Mexican American children recruited for a school-based weight management program. All children completed baseline assessments and changes in standardized body mass index (zBMI) were monitored in at-risk for overweight and overweight children (i.e., > 85th BMI percentile) who had been randomized to receive the weight loss intervention (n = 101).
Participants classified as at-risk for overweight or overweight reported greater weight dissatisfaction than normal weight children. Lower weight dissatisfaction at baseline was associated with greater changes in zBMI at 6 months. Weight dissatisfaction did not change across the course of treatment.
Mexican-American children whose weight status is greater than normal have greater weight dissatisfaction. Children with greater weight dissatisfaction are less likely to lose weight in a weight management program and weight dissatisfaction remains stable over the course of treatment.
评估参加体重管理项目的墨西哥裔美国儿童的体重不满、体重状况和体重减轻之间的关联。
参与者包括265名招募自一项基于学校的体重管理项目的墨西哥裔美国儿童。所有儿童均完成了基线评估，并对随机接受减肥干预的超重风险儿童和超重儿童（即BMI百分位数>85）的标准化体重指数（zBMI）变化进行了监测（n = 101）。
被归类为超重风险或超重的参与者比正常体重儿童报告了更高的体重不满。基线时较低的体重不满与6个月时zBMI的更大变化相关。在治疗过程中，体重不满没有变化。
体重状况高于正常水平的墨西哥裔美国儿童有更高的体重不满。体重不满程度较高的儿童在体重管理项目中减肥的可能性较小，且体重不满在治疗过程中保持稳定。
