A better understanding of the conditions leading to overweight and obesity is fundamental due to the ever-increasing phenomenon of excess body weight. This study aimed to determine how the occurrence of restrained eating in young adulthood, food-restricted types, and food experiences related to food restrictions originating in childhood correlate with excessive body weight among young adults.
The data were collected in Poland in 2020-2021 using a Computer-Assisted Web Interview technique as a cross-sectional study among 358 young adults. Descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, cross-tabulations, and logistic regression analysis were performed.
Restrictions associated with limiting intake of sugar-rich foods were more characteristic of those with normal body weight (52.7%) than those with excessive body weight (39.2%). Weak positive correlations were found between childhood experiences of weight control restrictions and restrained eating (0.222), using food restrictions (0.143), the number of restrictions (0.152), using restrictions on sugar (0.149), and food rich in fat (0.105) in early adulthood. Childhood food experiences related to weight control restrictions favored having excessive body weight in young adults by 53% after adjusting for sex and age.
The results showed that it is advisable to develop interventions to increase parents' awareness of the possible long-term consequences of practices related to controlling children's eating behavior.
鉴于超重现象日益增多，更好地了解导致超重和肥胖的因素至关重要。本研究旨在确定青年期节制饮食的发生情况、食物限制类型以及与童年时期食物限制相关的饮食经历如何与青年成年人的超重情况相关联。
2020 - 2021年在波兰采用计算机辅助网络访谈技术进行数据收集，作为对358名青年成年人的横断面研究。进行了描述性统计、频率分析、交叉表分析和逻辑回归分析。
与限制富含糖的食物摄入相关的限制在正常体重者（52.7%）中比超重者（39.2%）中更具特征性。在童年体重控制限制经历与青年期节制饮食（0.222）、采用食物限制（0.143）、限制数量（0.152）、采用对糖的限制（0.149）以及富含脂肪食物的限制（0.105）之间发现了微弱的正相关。在调整性别和年龄后，与体重控制限制相关的童年饮食经历使青年成年人超重的可能性增加了53%。
结果表明，建议开展干预措施，以提高父母对控制儿童饮食行为相关做法可能产生的长期后果的认识。
