To examine relationships between weight status and different forms of bullying victimization among adolescents aged 11-18 years.
The relationships between weight status and bullying victimization (physical, verbal, and relational) were examined utilizing data from the Guangdong Provincial Youth Health Behavior Survey. Data on height, weight, and victimization behaviors were collected by self-reporting from 12 439 subjects. , test and logistic regression were used to analyze relationships between weight and bullying victimization.
The incidence of victimization for adolescents aged 11-18 years was 8.6%, with higher rates for boys (12.4%) than for girls (4.7%). For children with normal, overweight and obese body mass index (BMI), the incidence rates of victimization were 8.2%, 17.3%, and 11.5%, respectively. Compared to normal weight, overweight was a risk factor for bullying victimization(OR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.18-2.17), and it also increased children's risk of being teased in a hurtful way (OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.41-3.24) and being made fun of due to physical appearance (OR = 3.58, 95% CI: 2.27-5.67). Obesity only increased the risk for children of being made fun of due to physical appearance (OR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.44-4.15).
The victimization for children at school is common in Guangdong province, China. Overweight and obese children are more likely to be victims of bullying behaviors, especially verbal victimization.
探讨 11-18 岁青少年的体重状况与不同形式的受欺凌经历之间的关系。
利用广东省青少年健康行为调查的数据,研究体重状况与欺凌受害(身体、言语和关系)之间的关系。数据由 12439 名受试者通过自我报告收集,身高、体重和受害行为。使用检验和逻辑回归分析体重与欺凌受害之间的关系。
11-18 岁青少年的受害发生率为 8.6%,男孩(12.4%)高于女孩(4.7%)。对于身体质量指数(BMI)正常、超重和肥胖的儿童,受害发生率分别为 8.2%、17.3%和 11.5%。与正常体重相比,超重是欺凌受害的危险因素(OR=1.60,95%CI:1.18-2.17),还增加了儿童被恶意嘲笑(OR=2.13,95%CI:1.41-3.24)和因外貌而被嘲笑的风险(OR=3.58,95%CI:2.27-5.67)。肥胖仅增加了儿童因外貌而被嘲笑的风险(OR=2.45,95%CI:1.44-4.15)。
在中国广东省,儿童在学校受到欺凌的现象很普遍。超重和肥胖儿童更有可能成为欺凌行为的受害者,尤其是言语欺凌。
