Abstract

This study uses survey data from the I.Family Study to investigate the association between adolescent and peer overweight in a sample of adolescents aged 12–16 from six European countries. We find clear evidence of peer effects on body mass index, waist circumference, and body fat, which are stronger among adolescents at the upper end of overweight distribution. We also provide evidence that both consumption of less healthy foods and time spent in leisure time physical activity and audio-visual media are positively associated with similar behaviours among friends. These observations may suggest that peer effects on adolescent overweight operate by influencing friends’ behaviour patterns, especially unhealthy food consumption and physical (in)activity.

同龄人对欧洲青少年体重状况、饮食行为和体育活动的影响:来自i .家庭研究的发现

本研究使用i .家庭研究的调查数据，调查了来自六个欧洲国家的12-16岁青少年样本中青少年和同龄人超重之间的关系。我们发现同伴效应在体重指数、腰围和体脂上有明显的影响，这种影响在超重分布的上端青少年中更为明显。我们还提供证据表明，消费较少的健康食品和花费在休闲时间的体育活动和视听媒体上的时间与朋友之间的类似行为呈正相关。这些观察结果可能表明，同伴效应对青少年超重的影响是通过影响朋友的行为模式，尤其是不健康的食物消费和身体活动来实现的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
