Cross-sectional associations between weight-related health behaviors and weight misperception among U.S. adolescents with overweight/obesity

BMC Public Health Apr 26, 2018

Hahn SL, et al. - Researchers investigated the cross-sectional association between weight misperception and engagement in weight-related health behaviors (specifically related to dietary intake, physical activity, and sleep) among adolescents with overweight/obesity, given past research has shown that adolescents with overweight/obesity who misperceive their weight status gain less weight over time compared to accurate perceivers. Self-reported data from the 2015 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey was used and multivariate logistic models correcting for sex, race/ethnicity, and grade in school were also used.

Some of the protective effect of weight misperception on weight gain over time could be explained by engagement in these healthy weight-related behaviors.
