目的：评价肥胖、超重和非超重男女青少年的体重控制行为、饮食和体育活动行为。方法：以康涅狄格州8,330名7年级、9年级和11年级的公立学校学生为研究对象。青少年对体重控制行为(节食、运动、呕吐、减肥药和泻药)、健康饮食行为、早餐消费和剧烈体育活动的回答。结果：与非超重青少年相比，超重青少年吃早餐的可能性更低，从事剧烈体育活动的可能性更小。超重青少年中不健康体重控制行为的发生率较高。结论：超重青少年更多地使用不健康的体重管理策略，而不是从事更健康的策略，如增加体力活动或健康饮食。这些发现表明，有必要向青少年提供关于健康减肥方法的一致信息。
Objective: To evaluate weight control behaviors, eating, and physical activity behaviors among obese, overweight, and nonoverweight female and male adolescents.Methods: A representative sample of 8,330 7th, 9th, and 11th grade public school students in Connecticut participated in the study. Adolescents responded to questions about weight control behaviors (dieting, exercise, vomiting, diet pills, and laxatives), healthy eating behaviors, breakfast consumption, and vigorous physical activity.Results: In comparison to nonoverweight youths, overweight adolescents were less likely to eat breakfast and less likely to engage in vigorous physical activity than nonoverweight youths. Higher prevalences of unhealthy weight control behaviors were evident among overweight youths.Conclusions: Overweight adolescents use more unhealthy weight management strategies and are not engaging in healthier strategies, such as increased physical activity or healthier eating. These findings suggest the need to provide consistent messages about healthy weight loss methods to adolescents.
