摘要

“Freshman-15”指的是美国学生在大学第一年预计平均增重15磅。虽然在这段时间里可以观察到整体体重的增加,但大多数研究发现,学生的平均体重增加不到15磅。然而,在美国以外的国家进行的研究很少。在目前的研究中,德国一所大学的120名女新生在第一学期开始时和第二学期开始时(大约6个月后)再次接受了测试。身体质量指数(BMI)在两次测量之间没有差异,但在第二次测量时,参与者的体脂增加了0.2%。第一次测量时BMI指数较高的参与者体重减轻,而体重抑制程度较高的参与者(即个人以前最高体重与当前体重之间的差值)体重增加。在第一次测量时报告经常锻炼的参与者体重增加了,但这种影响是由那些在第一学期减少体育锻炼的人造成的。第一次测量时的饮食习惯和饮食方式与体重变化无关。综上所述,没有证据表明德国女学生在第一学期整体体重增加。此外,体重变化仅由BMI、体重抑制和定期运动预测,而饮食行为与体重变化无关。因此,影响能量消耗的变量似乎比影响能量摄入的变量更能预测女新生未来的体重增加。

An Examination of the “Freshman-15” in Germany: Predictors of Weight Change in Female University Students
The “Freshman-15” refers to an expected average weight gain of 15 pounds during the first year at college in US students. Although an overall weight gain during this period can be observed, most studies found that students gain less than 15 pounds on average. Studies in countries other than the US, however, are scarce. In the current study, 120 female freshmen at a German university were tested at the start of the first semester and again at the start of the second semester (after approximately 6 months). Body mass index (BMI) did not differ between measurements, but participants had 0.2% more body fat at the second measurement. Participants with higher BMI at the first measurement lost weight and participants with higher weight suppression (i.e., the difference between an individual’s highest previous weight and current weight) at the first measurement gained weight. Participants who reported to exercise regularly at the first measurement gained weight, but this effect was driven by those who reduced their amount of physical exercise during the first semester. Dietary habits and eating styles at the first measurement were not associated with weight change. To conclude, no evidence was found for an overall weight gain during the first semester in female, German students. Furthermore, weight change was exclusively predicted by BMI, weight suppression, and regular exercise, while eating behaviors were unrelated to weight change. Thus, it appears that variables influencing energy expenditure are more robust predictors of future weight gain than variables influencing energy intake in female freshmen.
