The current study describes detailed eating behaviors, dieting behaviors, and attitudes about shape and weight in 4023 women ages 25 to 45.
The survey was delivered on-line and participants were identified using a national quota-sampling procedure.
Disordered eating behaviors, extreme weight loss measures, and negative cognitions about shape and weight were widely endorsed by women in this age group and were not limited to White participants. Thirty-one percent of women without a history of anorexia nervosa or binge eating reported having purged to control weight, and 74.5% of women reported that their concerns about shape and weight interfered with their happiness.
Unhealthy approaches to weight control and negative attitudes about shape and weight are pervasive even among women without eating disorders. The development of effective approaches to address the impact of these unhealthy behaviors and attitudes on the general well-being and functioning of women is required.
本研究描述了 4023 名年龄在 25 至 45 岁的女性的详细饮食行为、节食行为以及对体型和体重的态度。
该调查是通过在线方式进行的，参与者是通过全国配额抽样程序确定的。
饮食失调行为、极端的减肥措施以及对体型和体重的负面认知在该年龄段的女性中得到广泛认可，而且不限于白人参与者。31%没有神经性厌食症或暴食症病史的女性报告说曾通过催吐来控制体重，74.5%的女性报告说，她们对体型和体重的担忧影响了她们的幸福感。
即使在没有饮食失调症的女性中，也普遍存在不健康的体重控制方法和对体型和体重的负面态度。需要制定有效的方法来解决这些不健康行为和态度对女性整体健康和功能的影响。
