The economic transition in Saudi Arabia imposed negative consequences leading to an increase in the prevalence of obesity and its sequelae. Despite the commitment of high authorities in KSA to combat obesity, so far 25% of Saudis are still obese. The association between obesity, disordered eating attitude, and body image needs to be addressed.
To explore the relationship between obesity, eating attitude, and body image satisfaction among students and employees at Princess Nourah University (PNU) and to compare the different modalities of assessing body weight.
A cross-sectional study using a convenient sampling technique comprised of 550 participants. Obesity was assessed by anthropometric measurements and body composition monitor (BF511). Eating attitude test (EAT26) was used to determine eating attitude while body image satisfaction score was determined using body shape questionnaire (BSQ).
Around 382 (69.5%) students and 168 employees participated in the study. Obesity was significantly higher among employees (48.2%) vs students (27.7%) ( < 0.001). Body fat composition showed significant positive correlations ranging from weak-to-moderate (0.13 to 0.44) with other body measurements for students and employees. The disordered eating attitude was maximized among obese compared to other BMI groups ( < 0.05). Percentage of disordered eating attitude score correlated positively with BMI: 35.2% vs 52.3% among underweight and obese, respectively ( = 0.001). There was no statistical difference in eating attitudes between students and employees. BSQ score correlates positively with BMI ( < 0.001), it was 36.73 ± 18.68 vs 57.92 ± 18.50 for underweight and obese, respectively. The effect of BMI on body image score was 19.1%.
Obesity remains a significant health problem among Saudi females. Increased BMI is associated with increased disordered food attitude and the effect of BMI on body image score was minimal.
沙特阿拉伯的经济转型带来了负面影响，导致肥胖及其后遗症的患病率上升。尽管沙特阿拉伯王国的高层致力于抗击肥胖，但到目前为止，仍有25%的沙特人肥胖。肥胖、饮食态度紊乱和身体形象之间的关联需要得到解决。
探讨努拉公主大学（PNU）学生和员工中肥胖、饮食态度和身体形象满意度之间的关系，并比较评估体重的不同方式。
采用便利抽样技术进行横断面研究，共有550名参与者。通过人体测量和身体成分监测仪（BF511）评估肥胖情况。使用饮食态度测试（EAT26）来确定饮食态度，同时使用身体形状问卷（BSQ）确定身体形象满意度得分。
约382名（69.5%）学生和168名员工参与了研究。员工中的肥胖率（48.2%）显著高于学生（27.7%）（<0.001）。学生和员工的身体脂肪成分与其他身体测量值之间显示出从弱到中等（0.13至0.44）的显著正相关。与其他BMI组相比，肥胖者的饮食态度紊乱最为严重（<0.05）。饮食态度紊乱得分百分比与BMI呈正相关：体重过轻者和肥胖者分别为35.2%和52.3%（=0.001）。学生和员工的饮食态度没有统计学差异。BSQ得分与BMI呈正相关（<0.001），体重过轻者和肥胖者分别为36.73±18.68和57.92±18.50。BMI对身体形象得分的影响为19.1%。
肥胖仍然是沙特女性中的一个重大健康问题。BMI的增加与饮食态度紊乱的增加有关，且BMI对身体形象得分的影响最小。
