This article examined the associations between weight status (body mass index [BMI] and perceived weight measures) and school bullying experiences (being bullied and bullying others) of children and adolescents in urban China. A national representative sample ( = 3,675) of all types of pre-college schools from seven Chinese cities was employed for the analysis. Students from all grades in high school, vocational school, middle school, and primary grades 4 to 6 were surveyed. Height, weight, perceived weight status, and experiences of being bullied and bullying others were obtained. The results demonstrated that the objective weight status (BMI) was neither associated with being bullied overall by others nor associated with bullying others, but the subjective/perceived weight status was significantly related to being bullied. Regarding the specific forms of being bullied, underweight (measured by BMI) students were less likely to be cyberbullied, whereas obese (measured by BMI) students were more likely to be cyberbullied. Students who perceived themselves as slightly fat and too fat were more likely to be verbally bullied. Overweight and obese students were more likely to bully others physically and relationally, and the students who perceived themselves as too thin were positively associated with physically bullying others. Moreover, BMI had a role in the involvement in school bullying for boys, whereas perceived weight status had a role in school bullying involvement in girls. These results indicate that school bullying prevention and intervention should consider weight status, as well as gender differences.
本文考察了中国城市儿童和青少年的体重状况（体重指数[BMI]和感知体重测量）与校园欺凌经历（被欺凌和欺凌他人）之间的关联。该分析采用了来自中国七个城市的各种学前学校的全国代表性样本（n=3675）。调查了高中、职业学校、初中和小学 4 至 6 年级的所有年级的学生。获取了身高、体重、感知体重状况以及被欺凌和欺凌他人的经历。结果表明，客观体重状况（BMI）与总体被他人欺凌无关，也与欺凌他人无关，但主观/感知体重状况与被欺凌显著相关。关于具体的被欺凌形式，体重过轻（通过 BMI 衡量）的学生不太可能遭受网络欺凌，而体重过重（通过 BMI 衡量）的学生更有可能遭受网络欺凌。认为自己有点胖和太胖的学生更容易受到言语欺凌。超重和肥胖的学生更有可能进行身体和关系上的欺凌，而认为自己太瘦的学生则更有可能进行身体上的欺凌他人。此外，BMI 对男孩参与校园欺凌有一定作用，而感知体重状况对女孩参与校园欺凌有一定作用。这些结果表明，校园欺凌的预防和干预措施应考虑体重状况以及性别差异。
