Int J Eat Disord. 1998 Mar;23(2):125-32. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1098-108x(199803)23:2<125::aid-eat2>3.0.co;2-m.
The authors sought to describe a sample of adolescent males who reported disordered eating, to explore whether males with disordered eating are overweight or obese, and to determine if patterns displayed by females would be replicated with a male sample.
Three school-based adolescent samples were selected. (1) 27 males reporting disordered eating (2) 27 physically matched controls, and (3) 27 randomly selected controls.
Findings indicated that boys reporting disordered eating expressed greater body dissatisfaction, depression, restraint, and poorer interoceptive awareness compared to matched and randomly selected controls. Negative Emotionality and poor Interoceptive Awareness scores showed the strongest associations with eating pathology. Body mass index and Negative Emotionality scores showed the strongest relationships to restrained eating.
Previous results for female adolescents were replicated, suggesting that findings for females can be generalized to males. Disordered eating appears to exist in the absence of significant weight problems in adolescent males.
作者试图描述一组报告有饮食失调问题的青少年男性样本,探讨饮食失调的男性是否超重或肥胖,并确定女性所表现出的模式是否会在男性样本中重现。
选取了三个基于学校的青少年样本。(1)27名报告有饮食失调问题的男性;(2)27名身体状况匹配的对照者;(3)27名随机选取的对照者。
研究结果表明,与匹配的和随机选取的对照者相比,报告有饮食失调问题的男孩表现出更大的身体不满、抑郁、克制以及较差的内感受性意识。消极情绪和较差的内感受性意识得分与饮食病理学的关联最为强烈。体重指数和消极情绪得分与克制饮食的关系最为密切。
此前关于女性青少年的研究结果得到了重现,这表明女性的研究结果可以推广到男性。饮食失调似乎在青少年男性中存在,且不存在明显的体重问题。
