Eating, activity, and weight-related problems from adolescence to adulthood
American Journal of Preventive Medicine Jun 27, 2018
Neumark-Sztainer D, et al. - Researchers used data from Project EAT I-IV (Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults) to determine the prevalence of eating, activity, and weight-related problems likely to influence health; and the trajectories for having at least one of these problems during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. For 858 females and 597 males, longitudinal survey data was examined. In 2017–2018, analyses were carried out including measures such as high fast-food intake (≥3 times/week), low physical activity (<150 minutes/week), unhealthy weight control, body dissatisfaction, and obesity status. They found that some type of eating, activity, or weight-related problem at all stages from adolescence to adulthood was seen in the majority of young people. The findings call for wide-reaching interventions aimed at a broad spectrum of eating, activity, and weight-related problems prior to and throughout this developmental period.
