Comparison of nutrient intake between dieters and non-dieters in students aged 12 through 19 years
ABSTRACT: Adolescence is a
period when nutrient intake is of utmost importance. Not only is it a time of
physical growth, but also a period when lifestyle behaviors are learned.The
objective of this study was to compare nutrient intakes, physical activity
levels and methods for weight control in adolescent dieters to non dieters.A cross-sectional
survey was conducted in adolescents from thirteen high schools (n=1092) in West
Virginia, USA. The average age of students (n=416 males, 676 females) was 15.35
years (sd=1.163, range of 14-20 years). A 40% of males and 32% of females were
overweight or at-risk for overweight. More females (63%) reported dieting than
males (31%). Dieters were more likely to be overweight or at-risk for
overweight (55.8%) than non dieters (16%; p<0.01). Dieters had a
significantly lower intake of nutrients compare to non-dietersexcept for the
calories. Dieters were more likely to consume the recommended amounts of
cholesterol, and calorie from fat, than the non dieters. Dieting behavior
relatively impacted nutrient intakes. To facilitate weight loss, students need
education about nutrient dense foods to ensure optimal growth.
