To study the prevalence of disordered eating and its relationship with body dissatisfaction, family dysfunction, and depression among Chinese adolescent females in Hong Kong.
Two hundred ninety-four schoolgirls completed a demographic and weight history sheet, Eating Attitudes Test-26, Body Dissatisfaction Scale, cohesion and conflict subscales of the Family Environment Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory.
6.5% of subjects were EAT-26 high scores. Disordered eating was positively predicted by body dissatisfaction and, to a lesser extent, family cohesion and conflict. Body dissatisfaction was in turn positively predicted by depression, which was negatively predicted by family cohesion.
Western patterns of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes are common among Chinese adolescent females. In the presence of psychosocial vulnerability factors, more weight control behavior and eating disorders may be expected to arise in Hong Kong.
研究香港中国青少年女性中饮食失调的患病率及其与身体不满、家庭功能失调和抑郁之间的关系。
294名女学生填写了人口统计学和体重史问卷、饮食态度测试-26、身体不满量表、家庭环境量表的亲密度和冲突分量表以及贝克抑郁量表。
6.5%的受试者饮食态度测试-26得分较高。身体不满对饮食失调有正向预测作用，家庭亲密度和冲突在较小程度上也有正向预测作用。抑郁对身体不满有正向预测作用，而家庭亲密度对抑郁有负向预测作用。
西方模式的身体不满和饮食失调态度在香港中国青少年女性中很常见。在存在心理社会脆弱因素的情况下，预计香港会出现更多的体重控制行为和饮食失调问题。
