与体重管理相关的研究通常集中在减肥上，但考虑到与体型和体型相关的社会理想，增加体重的尝试可能是常见的。这项研究的目的是检查故意增重尝试的流行率和相关性，并描述在加拿大年轻成年人中报告的增重策略。横截面数据来自2017年的一项在线调查，调查对象为17岁至32岁的年轻人，从五个大城市招募(n=976,493名男性和483名女性)。通过使用多变量Logistic回归来检验体重增加意图的相关性，评估了体重增加尝试的流行率和所使用的具体策略。超过五分之一的男性(23.1%)和大约二十分之一的女性(6.0%)报告在过去12个月中试图增加体重。男性，那些认为自己体重过轻的人(与“差不多”相比)，以及那些报告了一个或多个种族/民族身份或没有说明自己的种族/民族的人(仅与白人相比)，报告试图增加体重的几率更高。那些认为自己超重或自我报告的身高和体重与BMI在25到29.9之间相对应的人，报告试图增加体重的几率较低。那些试图增重的人报告说平均使用了三种策略，其中男性和女性中最普遍的策略包括全面多吃，多吃蛋白质，以及锻炼/举重。结果表明，虽然不像节食那么常见，但增重的尝试并不少见，特别是在年轻男性中。
Research related to body weight management often focuses on weight loss but attempts to gain weight may be common given societal ideals related to body shape and size. The objectives of this study were to examine the prevalence and correlates of intentional weight gain attempts and to characterize weight gain strategies reported among young Canadian adults. Cross-sectional data were drawn from a 2017 online survey of young adults, aged 17 to 32 years, recruited from five large cities (n=976, 493 men and 483 women). The prevalence of weight gain attempts and specific strategies used were estimated, with multivariable logistic regression used to examine correlates of intent to gain weight. Over one in five men (23.1%) and approximately one in twenty women (6.0%) reported attempting to gain weight in the past 12 months. Men, those who perceived themselves as underweight (compared to "just about right"), and those who reported one or more racial/ethnic identity or did not state their race/ethnicity (compared to white only) had higher odds of reporting attempting to gain weight. Individuals who perceived themselves as overweight or who self-reported heights and weights corresponding to a BMI between 25 and 29.9 had lower odds of reporting attempting to gain weight. Those attempting to gain weight reported using three strategies on average, with the most prevalent among both men and women including eating more overall, eating more protein, and exercising/weightlifting. The results suggest that, while less common than dieting, weight gain attempts are not rare, especially among young men.
