这项研究考察了英国和丹麦这两个欧洲国家的大学生在身体意象知觉上的差异。共有816名英国大学生和548名丹麦大学生参加了一项横断面调查。一份自我管理的问卷评估了社会人口统计信息、身体形象感知(“太瘦”、“恰到好处”或“太胖”)，以及相关因素与身体形象感知的关联(营养行为、社会支持、感知到的压力源和生活质量)。认为自己“太瘦”、“恰到好处”或“太胖”的学生比例分别为8.6%、37.7%和53.7%。多因素Logistic回归分析表明，认为自己“太胖”的学生更有可能来自英国大学，更有可能是女性，更有可能超过30岁，报告因经济状况而产生的压力，以及更不可能拥有高质量的生活。这些发现强调了干预的必要性，重点放在健康食物选择上，同时承认经济压力来源和生活质量。
This study examined differences in body image perception between university students in two European countries, United Kingdom and Denmark. A total of 816 British and 548 Danish university students participated in a cross-sectional survey. A self-administered questionnaire assessed socio-demographic information, body image perception (as "too thin", "just right" or "too fat"), and the association of related factors with body image perception (nutrition behaviour, social support, perceived stressors and quality of life). The proportions of students who perceived themselves as "too thin", "just right", or "too fat" were 8.6%, 37.7%, and 53.7% respectively. Multi-factorial logistic regression analysis showed that students who perceived themselves as "too fat" were more likely to be from the British university, to be females, to be older than 30 years, to report stress due to their financial situation and were less likely to have a high quality of life. The findings highlight the need for interventions with focus on healthy food choices whilst acknowledging financial stressors and quality of life.
