Among a sample of American college students, body image and the degree of desired weight change were associated with academic self-rankings, with social and psychological well-being, and with the development of eating difficulties. The effects of body image and desired weight change on eating disorders were generally found to be greater for women than for men, and their effects on student self-rankings of academic ability, social, and psychological traits were more pervasive for women than for men. The less attractive a woman perceived herself to be and the more weight she wanted to lose, the greater was her overall sense of academic, social, and psychological impairment. Women who had poor body images and who desired to lose weight were more likely to report eating difficulties.
在一组美国大学生样本中，身体意象和期望的体重变化程度与学业自我排名、社会和心理健康状况以及饮食问题的发展相关。一般发现，身体意象和期望的体重变化对饮食失调的影响在女性中比在男性中更大，并且它们对学生学业能力、社会和心理特质自我排名的影响在女性中比在男性中更普遍。女性认为自己越缺乏吸引力且想要减去的体重越多，她在学业、社会和心理方面的整体受损感就越强。身体意象不佳且想要减肥的女性更有可能报告有饮食方面的问题。
