OBJECTIVE
To examine factors associated with weight dissatisfaction, a risk factor for eating disorders, among female Marine recruits.
METHODS
A diverse adolescent/young adult sample of 2157 female recruits completed a questionnaire upon entering Marine Corps training. Weight dissatisfaction was the main variable of interest.
RESULTS
Body mass index (BMI), disordered eating history, and worry about meeting military "weight" were related highly to weight dissatisfaction. Women with BMIs near the upper limit of the Marine Corps weight standard (23.5 kg/m2) reported the highest rates of weight dissatisfaction. Those who reported vomiting, binging or pill use, or being worried about "making weight" were four and five times, respectively, more likely to report weight dissatisfaction.
CONCLUSIONS
New female Marine recruits with higher BMIs, disordered eating histories, and worries about "making weight" are significantly more likely to be weight dissatisfied. Such findings may identify those at risk for developing eating disorders when exposed to strict military weight standards.
目的
研究与体重不满相关的因素，体重不满是饮食失调的一个风险因素，研究对象为女性海军陆战队新兵。
方法
2157名女性新兵组成的多样化青少年/青年样本在进入海军陆战队训练时完成了一份问卷。体重不满是主要的研究变量。
结果
体重指数（BMI）、饮食失调史以及对达到军队“体重标准”的担忧与体重不满高度相关。BMI接近海军陆战队体重标准上限（23.5千克/平方米）的女性报告体重不满的比例最高。那些报告有呕吐、暴饮暴食或使用药物行为，或担心“达到体重标准”的人报告体重不满的可能性分别是其他人的四倍和五倍。
结论
BMI较高、有饮食失调史且担心“达到体重标准”的新入伍女性海军陆战队队员体重不满的可能性显著更高。这些发现可能有助于识别那些在面临严格的军队体重标准时易患饮食失调症的风险人群。
