Overweight Youth and Disordered Eating Tendencies
Overweight youth with certain socio-environmental, psychological, and behavioral tendencies are more likely to suffer from eating disorders.
These tendencies include reading magazine articles about dieting, reporting a lack of family connectedness, and placing a high importance on weight.
That's according to research led by Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, a University of Minnesota professor of epidemiology.
