Abstract

Background: Overweight has been associated with several social and phycological problems and is perceived as one of the major health care challenges to focus on in the future. The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlations among nutritional status, assessed by the Body Mass Index, the perception of one's own health status and Life Satisfaction, detected in Italian adolescents living in Tuscany Region, and to investigate the influence of gender on them.

Methods: A statistically representative sample of 2760 Tuscan adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 was involved in the 2018 Health Behaviours at School-aged Children survey. The participants were divided into three nutritional status class: underweight, normal weight and overweight (overweight + obese).

Results: The results show that there is a statistically significant difference in all categories between boys and girls aged 13 and 15 years; in girls aged 11 and 13 years, the Life Satisfaction of the overweight group is statistically lower than that of normal and underweight groups; Self-Rated Health is statistically lower in all age groups for overweight individuals compared to normal weight children, except for 11-year-old females.

Conclusions: Viewing the psychosocial problems related to overweight, more attention and care must be placed on adolescents to ensure their healthier development.

营养状况、自评健康和生活满意度之间存在关联?来自 2018 年学龄儿童健康行为横断面研究的证据,研究对象为居住在托斯卡纳大区的意大利青少年样本。
背景:超重与多种社会和生理问题有关,被视为未来医疗保健的主要挑战之一。本研究旨在调查生活在托斯卡纳大区的意大利青少年的营养状况(通过身体质量指数评估)、对自身健康状况的看法和生活满意度之间的相关性,并调查性别对它们的影响:参加 2018 年学龄儿童健康行为调查的 2760 名托斯卡纳 11、13 和 15 岁青少年样本具有统计代表性。参与者被分为三个营养状况等级:体重不足、体重正常和超重(超重+肥胖):结果显示,在所有类别中,13 岁和 15 岁的男孩和女孩在统计学上都存在显著差异;在 11 岁和 13 岁的女孩中,超重组的生活满意度在统计学上低于正常体重组和体重不足组;与正常体重儿童相比,除 11 岁女性外,超重儿童在所有年龄组的自我健康评价在统计学上都较低:结论:考虑到与超重有关的社会心理问题,必须对青少年给予更多关注和关爱,以确保他们更健康地成长。
