A recent general population study of Chew and Spit (CHSP) behavior in adults found a 0.4% prevalence, predominantly in females. The current study explores this further by examining the same phenomenon in secondary-school aged adolescents. This study also explores the relationship between CHSP and other demographic and eating disorder (ED) features in 5111 adolescents (11-to-19 years of age) from 13 schools in New South Wales, Australia. Participants completed measures of ED symptoms and behaviors and change to impairment with two components: psychological distress (K-10) and health related quality of life (HRQoL; PedsQL). CHSP was found to have a 12.2% (95% CI 0.114, 0.132]) point-prevalence rate. Participants who indicated engaging in CHSP reported significantly higher levels of psychological distress (K-10) and lower HRQoL scores (PedsQL) compared to those that did not report CHSP. There was a dose-response relationship between CHSP frequency, psychological distress and HRQoL physical scores but not for HRQoL emotional and HRQoL social scores. Participants who reported regular CHSP were more likely to be female, younger, and to engage in compensatory behaviors such as purging. The high frequency of CHSP behavior in adolescents with disordered eating could suggest that CHSP should be considered in routine ED screening practices. Future studies may examine how to treat CHSP or investigate more focused treatment approaches, in order to target the behavior of CHSP more directly.
最近一项针对成年人咀嚼和吐食(CHSP)行为的普通人群研究发现,这种行为的患病率为 0.4%,主要发生在女性中。本研究通过研究澳大利亚新南威尔士州 13 所学校的 5111 名 11 至 19 岁青少年中同样的现象,进一步探讨了这一问题。该研究还探讨了 CHSP 与其他人口统计学和饮食失调(ED)特征之间的关系,这些特征在 5111 名青少年(11 至 19 岁)中得到了体现,他们来自澳大利亚新南威尔士州的 13 所学校。参与者完成了 ED 症状和行为以及两个方面的损伤变化的测量:心理困扰(K-10)和健康相关生活质量(HRQoL;PedsQL)。结果发现,CHSP 的点患病率为 12.2%(95%置信区间 0.114,0.132])。与未报告 CHSP 的参与者相比,报告有 CHSP 的参与者报告的心理困扰(K-10)水平明显更高,HRQoL 评分(PedsQL)更低。CHSP 频率、心理困扰和 HRQoL 身体评分之间存在剂量反应关系,但 HRQoL 情绪和 HRQoL 社交评分之间没有这种关系。报告经常进行 CHSP 的参与者更有可能是女性、年龄更小,并且更有可能采取催吐等补偿行为。在有饮食失调的青少年中,CHSP 行为的高频率可能表明,在常规 ED 筛查实践中应考虑 CHSP。未来的研究可能会研究如何治疗 CHSP 或调查更有针对性的治疗方法,以便更直接地针对 CHSP 行为。
