To explore gender differences regarding weight management behaviors of college drinkers.
Nationally representative sample of college students from the fall 2008 American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment II (N = 26,062 students).
Structural equation modeling was used to examine potential gender differences in associations among exercise, weight loss behaviors, and alcohol use.
Critical ratio tests revealed that associations between exercise and weight loss behaviors were more strongly correlated among females as compared with males. For females, there was a small negative association between exercise and drinking behaviors; in contrast, for males, there was a positive relationship between exercise and alcohol use. Weight loss behaviors were positively associated with drinking for both female and male students; however, the association was significantly stronger for females.
This investigation furthers previous research on drunkorexia and also sheds additional light on the gender-based differences in weight management behaviors of drinkers.
探讨大学生饮酒者体重管理行为中的性别差异。
来自 2008 年秋季美国大学生健康协会全国大学生健康评估 II 的全国代表性大学生样本(N=26062 名学生)。
使用结构方程模型检验运动、减肥行为和饮酒之间关联中的潜在性别差异。
临界比检验显示,女性的运动与减肥行为之间的关联比男性更为密切。对于女性,运动与饮酒行为之间存在负相关;相比之下,对于男性,运动与酒精使用之间存在正相关。减肥行为与女性和男性学生的饮酒行为均呈正相关;然而,对于女性,这种关联要强得多。
这项研究进一步探讨了关于酗酒和贪食症的先前研究,并进一步阐明了饮酒者体重管理行为中的性别差异。
