目的：探讨大学生饮酒者体重管理行为的性别差异。研究对象：2008年秋季美国大学健康协会全国大学健康评估II中具有全国代表性的大学生样本(N=26062名学生)。方法：采用结构方程模型检验运动、减肥行为和饮酒之间潜在的性别差异。结果：临界比检验表明，与男性相比，女性锻炼与减肥行为之间的相关性更强。对于女性来说，运动和饮酒行为之间存在轻微的负相关；相比之下，对于男性来说，运动和饮酒之间存在正相关关系。女性和男性学生的减肥行为都与饮酒呈正相关；然而，这种关联在女性中明显更强。结论：这项调查进一步深化了先前关于酒后厌食症的研究，并进一步揭示了饮酒者体重管理行为的性别差异。
Objective: To explore gender differences regarding weight management behaviors of college drinkers. Participants: Nationally representative sample of college students from the fall 2008 American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment II (N = 26,062 students). Methods: Structural equation modeling was used to examine potential gender differences in associations among exercise, weight loss behaviors, and alcohol use. Results: Critical ratio tests revealed that associations between exercise and weight loss behaviors were more strongly correlated among females as compared with males. For females, there was a small negative association between exercise and drinking behaviors; in contrast, for males, there was a positive relationship between exercise and alcohol use. Weight loss behaviors were positively associated with drinking for both female and male students; however, the association was significantly stronger for females. Conclusions: This investigation furthers previous research on drunkorexia and also sheds additional light on the gender-based differences in weight management behaviors of drinkers.
