Disordered eating pathology (DEP) and body dissatisfaction are well-documented risk factors for eating disorders and have become more prevalent among adolescent males.
The sample consisted of 256 Israeli boys, in grades 8-12. Participants completed questionnaires measuring, Sense of Coherence (SOC), Body Shape (BSQ), Eating attitudes (EAT-26), and the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-2).
Findings revealed low levels of DEP among adolescent boys. Younger adolescents (grade 8-9) had higher levels of clinically relevant DEP than older adolescents (grade 10-12). SOC was negatively associated with DEP and a significant interaction for age and SOC emerged with younger age being associated with both lower levels of SOC and higher DEP.
These results demonstrate a low overall prevalence rate of DEP among adolescent boys and is consistent with the developmental literature relating to SOC and mental health and in contrast with a similar population of girls documented in Israel and the US.
饮食失调病理(DEP)和身体不满是饮食失调的充分记录的风险因素,并且在青少年男性中变得更加普遍。
样本包括256名以色列8至12年级的男孩。参与者完成了测量连贯感(SOC)、体型(BSQ)、饮食态度(EAT - 26)和饮食失调量表(EDI - 2)的问卷。
研究结果显示青少年男孩中DEP水平较低。较年轻的青少年(8 - 9年级)的临床相关DEP水平高于年龄较大的青少年(10 - 12年级)。SOC与DEP呈负相关,并且年龄和SOC之间存在显著交互作用,年龄较小与较低的SOC水平和较高的DEP相关。
这些结果表明青少年男孩中DEP的总体患病率较低,这与有关SOC和心理健康的发展文献一致,并且与以色列和美国记录的类似女孩群体形成对比。
