The objective was to describe weight concerns, dieting, and meal skipping of adolescents and to determine associations with the Healthy Eating Index-C (HEI-C). Data, that were collected using the Food Behaviour Questionnaire, revealed that participants (male=810, female=1016) in grades 9/10 reported weight concerns (n=518), dieting (n=364), and skipping breakfast (n=498), lunch (n=252), and/or dinner (n=129). Of those dieting or weight concerned (n=602), 61% were healthy weight and of those not dieting or weight concerned (n=1224), 13% were overweight/obese. The ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that HEI-C was likely to be rated lower among those weight concerned and dieting (p<.001), and among those that skipped the breakfast meal (p<.001). The current study identified inappropriate weight concerns and dieting that compromised diet quality and has implications for future intervention and policy development.
目的是描述青少年对体重的担忧、节食和不吃饭的情况，并确定与健康饮食指数 - C（HEI - C）的关联。使用食物行为问卷收集的数据显示，9/10年级的参与者（男性 = 810人，女性 = 1016人）报告了对体重的担忧（n = 518）、节食（n = 364）以及不吃早餐（n = 498）、午餐（n = 252）和/或晚餐（n = 129）。在那些节食或担心体重的人（n = 602）中，61%体重正常，而在那些不节食或不担心体重的人（n = 1224）中，13%超重/肥胖。有序逻辑回归分析显示，在那些担心体重和节食的人（p <.001）以及那些不吃早餐的人（p <.001）中，HEI - C得分可能较低。当前研究发现了不适当的体重担忧和节食行为，这些行为损害了饮食质量，并对未来的干预和政策制定具有启示意义。
