Title: Adolescents engaging in unhealthy weight control behaviors: are they at risk for other health-compromising behaviors?
Authors: Neumark-Sztainer D (AUTHOR), Story M (AUTHOR), Dixon LB (AUTHOR), Murray DM (AUTHOR)
Source: American Journal of Public Health. Jun98, Vol. 88 Issue 6, p952-955. 4p.
Subjects: Body weight, Human behavior, Tobacco smoke, Alcoholism, Marijuana abuse, Risk-taking behavior
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine whether adolescents engaging in weight control behaviors are at increased risk for tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use; suicide ideation and attempts; and unprotected sexual activity. METHODS: Data were collected on a nationally representative sample of 16,296 adolescents taking part in the 1993 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. RESULTS: Adolescents using extreme weight control behaviors were at increased risk for health-compromising behaviors, while associations with other weight control behaviors were weak and inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS: The findings have relevance to clinical work with youth, provide a better understanding of disordered eating, and open up a number of opportunities for future research.
