Identifying factors linked to disordered eating in overweight and obesity (OV/OB) may provide a better understanding of youth at risk for disordered eating. This project examined whether ADHD symptoms and body dissatisfaction were associated with disordered eating.
ADHD symptoms, disordered eating, and body dissatisfaction were assessed in 220 youth ages 7-12 who were OV/OB.
Multiple linear regressions showed that body dissatisfaction and ADHD symptoms were associated with disordered eating.
Children with ADHD symptoms and OV/OB may be at greater risk for disordered eating when highly dissatisfied with their bodies. Healthcare providers should assess body image and disordered eating in youth with comorbid OV/OB and ADHD.
识别与超重和肥胖(OV/OB)中饮食失调相关的因素,可能有助于更好地了解有饮食失调风险的青少年。本项目研究了注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)症状和身体不满是否与饮食失调有关。
对220名7至12岁的超重/肥胖青少年进行了ADHD症状、饮食失调和身体不满的评估。
多元线性回归显示,身体不满和ADHD症状与饮食失调有关。
有ADHD症状且超重/肥胖的儿童,如果对自己的身体非常不满,可能有更高的饮食失调风险。医疗保健提供者应评估患有超重/肥胖和ADHD共病的青少年的身体形象和饮食失调情况。
