Weight misperception and health risk behaviors among early adolescents.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To examine associations between weight misperception and youth health risk and protective factors. METHODS:Three thousand ten US seventh-graders (72.1% white, mean age: 12.7 years) self-reported height, weight, risk, and protective factors. Analyses were conducted to determine cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between weight overestimation and health risk and protective factors. RESULTS:Risk and protective factors had significant cross-sectional associations with weight overestimation. However, only depressive symptoms and reduced optimism predicted weight overestimation in eighth grade. Weight overestimation did not predict engagement in risky behaviors. CONCLUSIONS:Weight overestimation and risk factors appear to co-occur, suggesting a constellation of risk that warrants further research.
