利用纵向社区研究的数据（N=231），作者测试了身体形象和饮食障碍是否可以部分解释青春期女孩中观察到的抑郁症的增加。最初瘦的压力，瘦的理想内化，身体不满，节食和暴食症症状，但不是体重，预测随后抑郁症状的增加，正如研究中这些风险因素的增加一样。这些风险因素与抑郁症状增加之间的每一种假设的中介关系也有前瞻性的支持。当其他已确定的性别非特异性抑郁风险因素（社会支持和情绪）在统计上得到控制时，效果仍然显著。研究结果支持了以下论断：身体形象和饮食失调，在非性别风险因素之外起着重要作用，是青春期女孩抑郁症升高的原因。
Using data from a longitudinal community study (N=231), the authors tested whether body-image and eating disturbances might partially explain the increase in depression observed in adolescent girls. Initial pressure to be thin, thin-ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, dieting, and bulimic symptoms, but not body mass, predicted subsequent increases in depressive symptoms, as did increases in these risk factors over the study. There was also prospective support for each of the hypothesized mediational relations linking these risk factors to increases in depressive symptoms. Effects remained significant when other established gender-nonspecific risk factors for depression (social support and emotionality) were statistically controlled. Results provide support for the assertion that body-image and eating disturbances, operating above and beyond gender-nonspecific risk factors, contribute to the elevated depression in adolescent girls.
