The authors assessed the prevalence of pathogenic eating and weight-control behaviors among female college athletes, using a psychometrically valid measure.
Participants were 204 college athletes (M age=20.16 years, SD=1.31 years) from 17 sports at 3 universities. On average, they participated in their sport for 10.88 years (SD=16.68 years) and on their college team for 2.10 years (SD=1.03 years).
Participants completed a demographic and weight background questionnaire, Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnoses, and the Bulimia Test-Revised.
The authors classified participants as eating disordered (n=4, 2.0%), symptomatic (n=52, 25.5%), and asymptomatic (n=148, 72.5%). Few participants engaged in binge eating; most used exercise, as opposed to vomiting, dieting, laxatives, or diuretics, to control their weight.
Female athletes suffer from eating disorders, and most experience symptom levels that are subclinical but problematic.
作者使用一种心理测量有效的方法评估了女大学生运动员中致病性饮食和体重控制行为的患病率。
参与者为来自3所大学17个运动项目的204名大学生运动员(平均年龄=20.16岁,标准差=1.31岁)。他们平均从事该项运动10.88年(标准差=16.68年),在大学运动队效力2.10年(标准差=1.03年)。
参与者完成了一份人口统计学和体重背景调查问卷、饮食失调诊断问卷以及修订版的暴食测试。
作者将参与者分为饮食失调组(n=4,2.0%)、有症状组(n=52,25.5%)和无症状组(n=148,72.5%)。很少有参与者存在暴饮暴食行为;大多数人通过锻炼(而非呕吐、节食、使用泻药或利尿剂)来控制体重。
女运动员存在饮食失调问题,且大多数人的症状水平处于亚临床状态,但仍存在问题。
