Int J Eat Disord. 1998 Jul;24(1):31-42. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1098-108x(199807)24:1<31::aid-eat3>3.0.co;2-1.
This study examined the association of weight concerns with potential risk factors for the development of eating disorders.
A self-report survey was given to 103 elementary (Grades 4 and 5) and 420 middle (Grades 6-8) school students in Arizona and California. Of these, 78 elementary and 333 middle school students provided complete data and were used in the analyses.
In a multivariate stepwise regression analysis, the importance that peers put on weight and eating was most strongly related to weight concerns in the elementary school girls, accounting for 34% of the variance after adjusting for site differences. Trying to look like girls/women on TV and in magazines as well as body mass index (BMI) entered the final model that accounted for 57% of the variance in weight concerns. In middle school, the importance that peers place on weight and eating was also the strongest predictor accounting for 33% of the variance followed by confidence, BMI, trying to look like girls/women on TV and in magazines, and being teased about weight. Together these variables accounted for 55% of the variance.
Prevention programs aimed at reducing weight concerns need to address these factors.
本研究探讨了体重相关担忧与饮食失调发展潜在风险因素之间的关联。
对亚利桑那州和加利福尼亚州的103名小学生(四年级和五年级)和420名中学生(六年级至八年级)进行了一项自我报告调查。其中,78名小学生和333名中学生提供了完整数据并用于分析。
在多元逐步回归分析中,同伴对体重和饮食的重视程度与小学女生的体重相关担忧最为密切,在调整地点差异后占方差的34%。试图模仿电视和杂志上的女性形象以及体重指数(BMI)进入了最终模型,该模型解释了体重相关担忧中方差的57%。在中学阶段,同伴对体重和饮食的重视程度也是最强的预测因素,占方差的33%,其次是自信心、BMI、试图模仿电视和杂志上的女性形象以及因体重被嘲笑。这些变量共同解释了55%的方差。
旨在减轻体重相关担忧的预防项目需要解决这些因素。
