This population-based study examined mothers' weight-related concerns and behaviors (weight status, weight dissatisfaction, dieting, and encouraging child to diet) at baseline, as assessed by both mothers and adolescents, and associations with adolescents' body dissatisfaction and weight control practices 5 years later.
Adolescents and their mothers (n = 443 pairs) were surveyed in 1998-1999; adolescents were resurveyed in 2003-2004.
Baseline maternal report of higher levels of her weight-related concerns/behaviors was associated with greater body dissatisfaction in girls 5 years later, controlling for adolescent weight status and other covariates. Baseline maternal report of weight-related concerns/behaviors was also associated with greater prevalence of trying to lose weight in both boys and girls 5 years later. Baseline adolescent report of higher maternal weight-related concerns/behaviors was associated with a higher prevalence of trying to lose weight 5 years later in girls.
These findings highlight the importance of mothers' weight-related concerns and behaviors for adolescents' weight-related outcomes.
本基于人群的研究通过母亲和青少年双方评估,考察了母亲在基线时的体重相关问题和行为(体重状况、不满体重、节食和鼓励孩子节食),并探讨了这些问题和行为与 5 年后青少年的身体不满和体重控制行为之间的关联。
1998-1999 年对青少年及其母亲(n=443 对)进行了调查;2003-2004 年对青少年进行了再次调查。
控制青少年体重状况和其他协变量后,基线时母亲报告的较高水平的体重相关问题/行为与 5 年后女孩的身体不满程度增加相关。基线时母亲报告的体重相关问题/行为也与 5 年后男孩和女孩试图减肥的比例增加相关。基线时青少年报告的母亲体重相关问题/行为较多与 5 年后女孩试图减肥的比例较高相关。
这些发现强调了母亲的体重相关问题和行为对青少年体重相关结果的重要性。
