Body mass index (BMI) and body type of female and male adolescent ballet dancers (n = 90) and school students (n = 156) were determined. Participants were asked for the body weight she or he would prefer, and ballet students were administered the Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40). Results between age groups and with reference values were compared. Both in dancers and controls, girls wanted to lose more body weight than boys, with female ballet dancers more than female controls. The desire for reducing body weight was expressed by female ballet dancers of all BMI percentiles and body types, with the highest difference between real and desired body weight in 11-, 13-, and 16-year-olds. In the other groups, a quest for lower body weight was expressed only by adolescents of higher BMI and pyknomorphic and/or mesomorphic body type. Female ballet dancers of all age groups sought to reach body weights below the 5th percentile or below 82% of normal body weight. Desired body weight change was influenced by BMI and body type and correlated positively with EAT-40 score.
测定了90名青少年芭蕾舞女舞者和男舞者以及156名在校学生的体重指数（BMI）和体型。询问了参与者他们希望的体重，对芭蕾舞学生进行了饮食态度测试-40（EAT-40）。比较了不同年龄组之间的结果以及与参考值的差异。在舞者和对照组中，女孩比男孩更希望减轻体重，女性芭蕾舞舞者比女性对照组更甚。所有BMI百分位数和体型的女性芭蕾舞舞者都表达了减轻体重的愿望，11岁、13岁和16岁的女性芭蕾舞舞者实际体重与期望体重之间的差异最大。在其他组中，只有BMI较高以及体型为矮胖型和/或匀称型的青少年表达了减轻体重的需求。所有年龄组的女性芭蕾舞舞者都试图达到低于第5百分位数或低于正常体重82%的体重。期望的体重变化受BMI和体型影响，且与EAT-40得分呈正相关。
