This study examines the risks of disordered eating among Hong Kong adolescents.
A total of 893 students (12-18 years old) participated in a cross-sectional study in 2007.
Students' height and weight were measured and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) was completed. The risks of disordered eating were assessed by EAT-26 results and weight status. Sex differences in the risks of disordered eating were examined by logistic regression models with adjustment for age.
Based on the EAT-26 results, 18.5% of boys and 26.6% of girls were at risk of disordered eating with a significant adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.58 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-2.18] for sex. A significant OR of 1.60 (95%CI 1.21-2.13) for sex was also obtained when both EAT-26 results and weight status were used for the screening.
Hong Kong adolescent girls have a higher risk of disordered eating than boys. EAT-26 results together with measured weight status are useful criteria for screening disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in adolescents.
本研究考察了香港青少年饮食失调的风险。
共有 893 名学生（12-18 岁）参与了 2007 年的一项横断面研究。
测量了学生的身高和体重，并完成了饮食态度测试（EAT-26）。通过 EAT-26 结果和体重状况评估饮食失调的风险。通过调整年龄的逻辑回归模型检查了性别差异在饮食失调风险中的作用。
根据 EAT-26 结果，18.5%的男孩和 26.6%的女孩有饮食失调的风险，性别调整后的比值比（OR）为 1.58（95%置信区间[CI]为 1.15-2.18）。当同时使用 EAT-26 结果和体重状况进行筛查时，性别也得到了显著的 OR 1.60（95%CI 为 1.21-2.13）。
香港少女比男孩有更高的饮食失调风险。EAT-26 结果加上测量的体重状况是筛查青少年饮食失调态度和行为的有用标准。
