This study sought to determine whether adolescents engaging in weight control behaviors are at increased risk for tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use; suicide ideation and attempts; and unprotected sexual activity.
Data were collected on a nationally representative sample of 16,296 adolescents taking part in the 1993 Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
Adolescents using extreme weight control behaviors were at increased risk for health-compromising behaviors, while associations with other weight control behaviors were weak and inconsistent.
The findings have relevance to clinical work with youth, provide a better understanding of disordered eating, and open up a number of opportunities for future research.
本研究旨在确定参与体重控制行为的青少年是否有更高的风险使用烟草、酒精和大麻;是否有自杀意念和自杀企图;以及是否有不安全性行为。
收集了参与1993年青少年危险行为调查的16296名青少年的全国代表性样本数据。
采用极端体重控制行为的青少年出现损害健康行为的风险增加,而与其他体重控制行为的关联则微弱且不一致。
这些发现与针对青少年的临床工作相关,有助于更好地理解饮食失调问题,并为未来研究提供了许多机会。
