ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This research assessed cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between weight teasing and disordered consuming in an ethnically/racially and socioeconomically numerous pattern of younger individuals and examined these relationships throughout sociodemographic traits.
METHOD: The EAT 2010-2018 research surveyed adolescents (n = 1,534) within the Minneapolis/St. Paul public colleges (imply age = 14.4 years) and eight years later (imply age = 22.2 years).
RESULTS: Weight teasing was prevalent in adolescence (34.1%) and younger maturity (41.5%). In analyses adjusted for sociodemographic traits and physique mass index, weight teasing was cross-sectionally related to a better prevalence of all disordered consuming behaviors throughout each adolescence and younger maturity. For instance, 64.5% of younger adults who reported being teased about their weight engaged in unhealthy weight management behaviors, in contrast with 47.9% amongst these not teased (p < .001). There had been fewer noticed associations in longitudinal analyses, though weight teasing nonetheless predicted prevalent overeating and each prevalent and incident weight-reduction plan (incident dieting-teased: 48.4% vs. not teased: 38.0%, p = .016). Weight teasing and disordered consuming had been extra prevalent amongst Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) younger individuals and people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and the connection between weight teasing and disordered consuming was related throughout ethnic/racial, socioeconomic, and gender demographic teams.
DISCUSSION: Results point out that weight teasing is strongly correlated with disordered consuming in each adolescence and younger maturity no matter ethnicity/race, socioeconomic standing, or gender. Finding counsel that future analysis and coverage interventions ought to handle weight stigma and prioritize the wants of BIPOC younger individuals and younger individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
