目的：估计希腊青少年中异常饮食态度的患病率，并确定与这些态度相关的可能危险因素。设计：横断面、校本研究。背景：在希腊南部帕特雷随机选择的六所学校。参与者：研究人群包括540名13-18岁的希腊学生，应答率为97%。主要结果测量：因变量为饮食态度测试-26得分，得分>= 20表示饮食态度异常。分析：双变量分析包括独立的Student t检验、卡方检验和Fisher精确检验。采用多因素logistic回归分析，确定与异常饮食态度独立相关的预测因素。的双边P值小于。0.05认为有统计学意义。结果：异常饮食态度患病率为16.7%。多因素logistic回归分析表明，女性、城市居民和体重指数超出正常范围、超重、身体不满意和家庭成员正在节食的人与异常饮食态度独立相关。结论和启示：结果表明，希腊青少年的比例报告不正常的饮食态度，并表明多种因素有助于这些态度的发展。这些发现有助于进一步研究这一主题，并对设计预防干预措施有价值。
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of abnormal eating attitudes among Greek adolescents and identify possible risk factors associated with these attitudes.Design: Cross-sectional, school-based study.Setting: Six randomly selected schools in Patras, southern Greece.Participants: The study population consisted of 540 Greek students aged 13-18 years, and the response rate was 97%.Main Outcome Measure: The dependent variable was scores on the Eating Attitudes Test-26, with scores >= 20 indicating abnormal eating attitudes.Analysis: Bivariate analysis included independent Student t test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied for the identification of the predictive factors, which were associated independently with abnormal eating attitudes. A 2-sided P value of less than .05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The prevalence of abnormal eating attitudes was 16.7%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that females, urban residents, and those with a body mass index outside normal range, a perception of being overweight, body dissatisfaction, and a family member on a diet were independently related to abnormal eating attitudes.Conclusions and Implications: The results indicate that a proportion of Greek adolescents report abnormal eating attitudes and suggest that multiple factors contribute to the development of these attitudes. These findings are useful for further research into this topic and would be valuable in designing preventive interventions.
