This article examined correlates of and gender differences in extreme dieting behaviours among 15,425 US adolescents from the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Suicidal thoughts and plans and binge drinking were related to extreme dieting behaviours in females, but not in males. Suicide attempts, daily smoking and marijuana use were related to extreme dieting behaviours in males, but not females. Results suggest extreme dieting behaviours are associated with a range of negative psychosocial factors and substance use behaviours, and that these differ for boys and girls. Additional research is required to elucidate these relationships, and these results provide a focus for future research, prevention and intervention efforts.
本文研究了来自2011年青少年风险行为调查的15425名美国青少年中极端节食行为的相关因素及性别差异。自杀念头和计划以及狂饮与女性的极端节食行为有关，但与男性无关。自杀未遂、每日吸烟和使用大麻与男性的极端节食行为有关，但与女性无关。结果表明，极端节食行为与一系列负面心理社会因素和物质使用行为有关，而且这些因素在男孩和女孩中有所不同。需要进一步的研究来阐明这些关系，这些结果为未来的研究、预防和干预工作提供了重点。
