OBJECTIVE
To understand how body size preferences changed in Samoa between 1995 and 2017 to 2019.
METHODS
Data were from adults aged from 31 to 59 years, who participated in two separate cross-sectional studies of obesity and cardiometabolic risk conducted in Samoa in 1995 and 2017 to 2019. Participants nominated line drawings representing their current size, ideal size, the most attractive and healthiest size, and the lower/upper limits of "normal" size.
RESULTS
In both sexes, body size preferences and perceived current average body size have increased, yet preference for bodies smaller than one's perceived current size has persisted. Furthermore, the range of body sizes that people considered "normal" has narrowed, suggesting decreased tolerance for extremes of body size.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings may have implications for mental and physical health outcomes, inform development of future health initiatives, and contribute to a deeper understanding of how body norms and weight-related public health efforts interface.
目的
了解 1995 年至 2017 年至 2019 年间萨摩亚人体尺寸偏好的变化情况。
方法
数据来自年龄在 31 至 59 岁之间的成年人，他们参加了 1995 年和 2017 年至 2019 年在萨摩亚进行的两项关于肥胖和心血管代谢风险的独立横断面研究。参与者提名了代表他们当前体型、理想体型、最具吸引力和最健康体型以及“正常”体型下限/上限的线条图。
结果
在两性中，体型偏好和感知到的当前平均体型都有所增加，但对小于感知到的当前体型的体型的偏好仍然存在。此外，人们认为“正常”的体型范围已经缩小，这表明对体型极端的容忍度降低。
结论
这些发现可能对心理健康和身体健康结果产生影响，为未来的健康倡议提供信息，并有助于更深入地了解身体规范和与体重相关的公共卫生工作的相互作用。
