越来越多的研究报告指出，学校环境与青少年体重以及与体重相关的行为之间存在关联。学校环境中一个有趣但研究不足的方面可能会对青少年的体重产生影响，那就是性别构成。如果男孩和女孩被分到单一性别的学校，他们可能不会那么关心外表，这可能会导致体重增加。利用韩国首尔的独特环境，学生被随机分配到学区内的单一性别学校和男女同校学校，我们估计了单一性别学校对体重和与体重相关的行为的因果影响。我们的结果显示，就读单一性别学校的学生更有可能超重，而且这种影响对女孩的影响更明显。我们还发现，与男女同校的女孩相比，单一性别学校的女孩更不可能从事繁重的活动。
A growing body of research reports associations of school contexts with adolescents’ weight and weight-related behaviors. One interesting, but under-researched, dimension of school context that potentially matters for adolescents’ weight is the gender composition. If boys and girls are separated into single-sex schools, they might be less concerned about physical appearance, which may result in increased weight. Utilizing a unique setting in Seoul, Korea where students are randomly assigned to single-sex and coeducational schools within school districts, we estimate causal effects of single-sex schools on weight and weight-related behaviors. Our results show that students attending single-sex schools are more likely to be overweight, and that the effects are more pronounced for girls. We also find that girls in single-sex schools are less likely to engage in strenuous activities than their coeducational counterparts.
