Fitness is a very important goal among young adults that may lead to eating disorders.
The aim of this study was to identify the factors influencing fitness intention based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and its relationship to eating attitudes.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 231 female college students during the winter of 2012. Participants were randomly selected in proportion to their distribution among the different faculties at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. A structured questionnaire was applied for collecting data and data was analyzed by SPSS version 21 using a T-test, ANOVA, bivariate correlations, and linear regression at a 95% significant level.
Nearly 21.6% of the participants had abnormal eating attitudes. The TPB variables accounted for 40% of the variation in fitness intention. Bivariate correlations indicated a positive correlation between fitness intention and eating attitude (r = 0.417, P < 0.05).
Based on our results, it seems that designing and implementing educational programs to reduce positive attitudes and encourage subjective norms toward fitness may be useful for preventing abnormal eating attitudes.
健康是年轻人非常重要的目标，但这可能会导致饮食失调。
本研究旨在基于计划行为理论（TPB）确定影响健身意愿的因素及其与饮食态度的关系。
2012年冬季，对231名女大学生进行了一项横断面研究。参与者是根据他们在哈马丹医科大学不同院系的分布比例随机选取的。采用结构化问卷收集数据，并使用SPSS 21版在95%显著水平下通过t检验、方差分析、双变量相关性分析和线性回归对数据进行分析。
近21.6%的参与者有异常饮食态度。TPB变量占健身意愿变异的40%。双变量相关性分析表明健身意愿与饮食态度呈正相关（r = 0.417，P < 0.05）。
根据我们的研究结果，设计和实施教育项目以减少对健身的积极态度并鼓励对健身的主观规范，可能有助于预防异常饮食态度。
