虽然一些非西方少数族裔儿童的超重和肥胖患病率高于白人儿童，但他们的身体形象却没有得到充分研究。目前的研究检查了荷兰非西方少数民族儿童的身体形象（即，巴哈马、安的列斯、摩洛哥和土耳其）。来自学校、媒体和家庭环境的社会文化影响以及他们对超重预防计划的看法都被考虑在内。52名非西方少数民族儿童（8-12岁）参加了半结构化访谈和焦点小组。结果显示，孩子们普遍低估了他们目前的身体尺寸，这往往是超重，并喜欢薄和“正常”的身体尺寸。结果进一步揭示了重要的见解文化决定的主题，有关媒体，同龄人，家长和教师，营养习惯，和儿童的信念，以学校为基础的健康干预措施的感知偏好。我们的结论是，在未来的干预措施中，针对文化敏感的意识，对实际的身体大小和健康的身体形象似乎至关重要。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
While the prevalence of overweight and obesity is higher among children of some non-Western ethnic minorities than among their Caucasian counterparts, their body image is understudied. The current study examined the body image of Dutch children of non-Western ethnic minorities (i.e., Surinamese, Antillean, Moroccan, and Turkish). Sociocultural influences from school, media and home environments and their perceptions of overweight prevention programs were taken into account. Fifty-two non-Western ethnic minority children (aged 8-12 years) participated in semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Results showed that the children generally underestimated their current body size, which was often overweight, and preferred thin and 'normal' body sizes. Results further revealed important insights into culturally determined themes, relating to perceived preferences in media, peers, parents, and teachers, nutritional habits, and children's beliefs about school-based health interventions. We conclude that targeting culturally sensitive awareness about actual body size and healthy body images seems paramount in future interventions. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
