Mothers of eating disordered adolescents were more likely to have an eating disorder. However, some contradictory findings were reported because some studies failed to find this association.
The main objective of the study was to determine the association of eating attitudes in adolescent girls with eating attitudes in their parents.
A sample of 969 girls from Osona County (Barcelona, Spain) and their parents participated in the study. Girls completed the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and their weight and height were measured. Parents completed questionnaire with self-reported weight and height, demographic characteristics and EAT-26.
10.1% of girls showed high EAT-26 scores (> 20 points), indicating abnormal eating attitudes. Female adolescents were almost three times more likely to have abnormal eating attitudes if their mothers scored high on EAT-26 (OR = 2.8; 95% CI 1.5-5.2). Other significant predictors of high EAT-26 scores were age and obesity.
An abnormal eating attitude of the mother was identified as a potential risk factor in the development of eating disorders in female adolescents.
患有饮食失调症的青少年的母亲更有可能患有饮食失调症。然而，也有一些相互矛盾的研究结果被报道，因为一些研究未能发现这种关联。
本研究的主要目的是确定青春期女孩的饮食态度与其父母饮食态度之间的关联。
来自西班牙巴塞罗那奥索纳县的969名女孩及其父母参与了这项研究。女孩们完成了饮食态度测试（EAT - 26），并测量了她们的体重和身高。父母们填写了关于自我报告的体重、身高、人口统计学特征和EAT - 26的问卷。
10.1%的女孩EAT - 26得分较高（> 20分），表明存在异常饮食态度。如果母亲的EAT - 26得分较高，女性青少年出现异常饮食态度的可能性几乎是其三倍（OR = 2.8；95%置信区间1.5 - 5.2）。EAT - 26得分较高的其他显著预测因素是年龄和肥胖。
母亲的异常饮食态度被确定为女性青少年饮食失调发展的一个潜在风险因素。
