This study aimed to determine whether the use of complementary medicine (CM) is associated with body satisfaction and weight management methods in Australian women.
Women aged 34-39 years from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health were surveyed regarding satisfaction with their body weight and shape, and the use of weight management methods. Associations with CM use were analysed using logistic regression modelling.
Women using CM less likely wanted to lose weight; and were more likely to cut down on fats and/or sugars, use low glycaemic diets, diet books and 'other' methods (OR: 1.33-2.83) compared to CM non-users. Women using herbal medicine products 'sometimes' were more likely to use meal replacements/slimming products (OR: 1.50-1.67) compared to non-users.
Australian women using CM are more likely to be satisfied with their body weight and shape, and to use a range of weight management approaches compared to CM non-users.
本研究旨在确定在澳大利亚女性中,使用补充医学(CM)是否与身体满意度和体重管理方法有关。
对参加澳大利亚女性健康纵向研究的 34-39 岁女性进行了关于对体重和体型的满意度以及体重管理方法使用情况的调查。使用逻辑回归模型分析了与 CM 使用相关的因素。
与 CM 非使用者相比,使用 CM 的女性不太可能想要减肥;并且更有可能减少脂肪和/或糖的摄入,使用低血糖指数饮食、饮食书籍和“其他”方法(OR:1.33-2.83)。与非使用者相比,偶尔使用草药产品的女性更有可能使用代餐/减肥产品(OR:1.50-1.67)。
与 CM 非使用者相比,使用 CM 的澳大利亚女性更有可能对自己的体重和体型感到满意,并采用多种体重管理方法。
