Enhancement of nutritional status and regular aerobic exercise of adolescents are specific national target goals for the year 2000. Adolescent diets have been characterized as grazing and widely diversified, including increases in morbid obesity; body building via amino acid supplementation; bulimia with cyclic bingeing-vomiting; and starvation via anorexia. Some degree of distorted body image is frequently present, reflecting the interest and concern of adolescents to achieve a perceived ideal body image as well as an individual personhood. Because diet/exercise have a profound impact on health, not only now but perhaps into the future, this proposal aims at TOP FIT-2000 for Hispanic boys and girls. This pilot health and nutrition research proposal will: 1) determine factors that modulate body weight as perceived by Hispanic teens; 2) characterize the diet pattern of Hispanic teens and how this may be reflected in selected anthropometric measurements (e.g. body weight, body mass index, mid-arm muscle circumference; 3) characterize the usual aerobic exercise pattern (energy expenditure) in relationship to selected anthropometric parameters (e.g., body weight, body mass index, mid-arm muscle circumference); 4) determine the impact of intense education on enhanced knowledge/understanding of energy balance concept, improved anthropometric measurements, and improved quality of nutrient/calorie intake. Simple anthropometric analysis that can be done by adolescents will provide them with practical tools to target their own desirable body weight and body mass index. Likewise, simple diet and exercise tools will make an ongoing assessment of these parameters for energy balance of interest to teens. Assessment of all initial screening parameters will be repeated in follow up for both control and experimental groups, with comparison to the initial parameters to determine significant changes since initial screening. We hypothesize that this "up-beat", fun, educational experience will result in improved understanding of energy balance, nutrition and exercise, and positively challenge them to TOP FIT 2000 and beyond.

改善营养状况并定期进行有氧运动 青少年是2000年的具体国家目标。 青少年饮食的特点是放牧和广泛多样化， 包括病态肥胖的增加；通过氨基酸健身 补充；贪食症伴有周期性暴食呕吐；和饥饿通过 厌食症。 经常出现某种程度扭曲的身体形象， 反映青少年对实现可感知的目标的兴趣和关注 理想的身体形象以及个人人格。 因为 饮食/运动对健康有着深远的影响，不仅是现在，也许 展望未来，该提案的目标是西班牙裔男孩的 TOP FIT-2000 女孩们。 该健康与营养试点研究提案将：1) 确定西班牙裔青少年所认为的调节体重的因素； 2）描述西班牙裔青少年的饮食模式及其可能的特点 反映在选定的人体测量中（例如体重、身体 质量指数、中臂肌肉围度； 3）表征平时有氧运动 与所选运动模式（能量消耗）相关的运动模式 人体测量参数（例如体重、体重指数、中臂 肌肉周长）； 4）确定强化教育对 增强对能量平衡概念的认识/理解，改进 人体测量，并提高营养/热量的质量 摄入量。 青少年可以完成的简单人体测量分析 将为他们提供实用的工具来瞄准自己想要的身体 体重和体重指数。 同样，简单的饮食和锻炼工具也会 对这些参数进行持续评估以实现能量平衡 青少年的兴趣。 所有初步筛选参数的评估将 对对照组和实验组重复随访， 与初始参数进行比较以确定自此以来的显着变化 初步筛选。 我们假设这种“乐观”、有趣、有教育意义的 经验将提高对能量平衡的理解， 营养和锻炼，并积极挑战 TOP FIT 2000 和 超过。
