The current study evaluated associations between sport-performance-related body dissatisfaction (BD), general-appearance-related BD, and their relation to EAT-26 scores among a sample of adult runners who participated in middle- and long-distance races in the northeastern United States (N=400, 46.5% male). Women reported elevated BD and eating disorder symptoms, as compared to men. Ridge regression was used to analyze correlations between appearance- and performance-related BD with EAT-26 scores. Results demonstrated that appearance- and performance-related BD positively correlated with EAT-26 scores in women (βs=0.18 and 0.13, respectively). Race length was a significant covariate for women, such that those who ran middle-distance race events were more likely to report higher EAT-26 scores (β=-3.12). These associations were not demonstrated in men. Results suggest that it is beneficial to address sport-specific body image concerns, in addition to more general appearance-related body image concerns in female runners.
本研究评估了与运动表现相关的身体不满（BD）、与整体外貌相关的BD，以及它们与美国东北部参加中长跑比赛的成年跑步者样本中EAT-26得分之间的关系（N = 400，46.5%为男性）。与男性相比，女性报告的BD和饮食失调症状更为严重。采用岭回归分析与外貌和表现相关的BD与EAT-26得分之间的相关性。结果表明，与外貌和表现相关的BD在女性中与EAT-26得分呈正相关（β分别为0.18和0.13）。比赛长度是女性的一个显著协变量，即参加中距离比赛项目的女性更有可能报告较高的EAT-26得分（β = -3.12）。这些关联在男性中未得到证实。结果表明，除了解决女性跑步者更普遍的与外貌相关的身体形象问题外，关注特定运动的身体形象问题也是有益的。
