目的：分析瑜伽或冥想的使用是否与澳大利亚女性的身体（不满意）满意度和体重控制方法相关。方法：对澳大利亚女性健康纵向研究中 34 至 39 岁的女性进行了身体满意度、体重控制行为以及瑜伽和冥想练习的调查。使用卡方检验和多元逻辑回归模型分析身体满意度和体重控制方法与瑜伽/冥想练习的关联。结果：在 8009 名女性中，49% 超重或肥胖。 65% 体重指数 (BMI) 正常的女性和约 95% 超重/肥胖的女性希望减肥。体重指数正常的女性中至少有四分之一对体重和体形不满意，超重/肥胖的女性中超过三分之二也不满意。最常见的体重控制方法包括锻炼（82.7%）、减少膳食量（76.8%）和减少糖或脂肪（71.9%）。 688 名女性 (8.6%) 经常练习瑜伽/冥想，1176 名女性 (14.7%) 偶尔练习瑜伽/冥想。体重指数正常的瑜伽/冥想使用者不太可能对体重和体形不满意。所有瑜伽/冥想使用者更有可能锻炼身体并遵循低血糖饮食或饮食书籍；偶尔使用瑜伽/冥想的肥胖女性也更有可能通过禁食或吸烟来减肥。结论：体重指数正常的瑜伽/冥想使用者似乎比非瑜伽/冥想使用者对自己的体重和体形更满意。虽然体重指数正常或超重的女性倾向于依赖健康的体重控制方法，但偶尔使用瑜伽/冥想的肥胖女性可能更有可能使用不健康的体重控制方法。 (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Objectives: To analyze whether yoga or meditation use is associated with body (dis)satisfaction and weight control methods in Australian women.Methods: Women ages 34 to 39 y from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health were surveyed regarding body satisfaction, weight control behaviors, and yoga and meditation practice. Associations of body satisfaction and weight control methods with yoga/meditation practice were analyzed using chi-squared tests and multiple logistic regression modelling.Results: Of the 8009 women, 49% were overweight or obese. Sixty-five percent of women with normal body mass index (BMI) and approximately 95% of women with overweight/obesity wanted to lose weight. At least one in four women with normal BMI was dissatisfied with body weight and shape, as were more than two in three women with overweight/obesity. The most common weight control methods included exercising (82.7%), cutting down meal sizes (76.8%), and cutting down sugars or fats (71.9%). Yoga/meditation was practiced frequently by 688 women (8.6%) and occasionally by 1176 women (14.7%). Yoga/meditation users with normal BMI were less likely dissatisfied with body weight and shape. All yoga/meditation users more likely exercised and followed a low glycemic diet or diet books; and women with obesity occasionally using yoga/meditation also more likely used fasting or smoking to lose weight.Conclusion: Yoga/meditation users with normal BMI appear to be more satisfied with their body weight and shape than non-yoga/meditation users. While women with normal BMI or overweight tend to rely on healthy weight control methods, women with obesity occasional using yoga/ meditation may more likely utilize unhealthy weight control methods.
