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.

加强营养状况和规律有氧运动 青少年是2000年国家的具体目标。 青少年的饮食特点是吃草和广泛多样化， 包括病态肥胖的增加;通过氨基酸 补充;暴食症与周期性暴饮暴食-呕吐;和饥饿通过 厌食症 经常出现某种程度的身体形象扭曲， 反映青少年对实现一个可感知的 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， 在未来，该提案旨在为西班牙裔男孩提供TOP FIT-2000， 姑娘们 这一试点健康和营养研究提案将：1） 确定西班牙裔青少年所感知的调节体重的因素; 2)描述西班牙裔青少年的饮食模式， 反映在选定的人体测量（如体重，身体 质量指数，中臂肌肉周长; 3）表征通常的有氧运动 运动模式（能量消耗）与选定的 人体测量参数（例如，体重，体重指数，中臂 肌肉周长）; 4）确定密集教育对 提高对能量平衡概念的知识/理解， 人体测量，改善营养/热量质量 摄入 青少年可以进行的简单人体测量分析 将为他们提供实用的工具， 体重和身体质量指数。 同样，简单的饮食和锻炼工具将 持续评估这些参数以实现能源平衡 青少年的兴趣。 所有初始筛选参数的评估将 在对照组和实验组的随访中重复， 与初始参数进行比较，以确定自 初步筛选。 我们假设这种“乐观”的，有趣的，有教育意义的 经验将导致对能量平衡的更好理解， 营养和锻炼，并积极挑战他们的TOP FIT 2000， 超越。
