Abstract

Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. 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. <CLIP: “We found that 40 percent…for weight control purposes.”> Neumark-Sztainer offers advice. <Clip: “There is a lot of emphasis now…among overweight adolescents.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
