Abstract | Body image dissatisfaction and eating disturbances are prevalent among youths and are beginning at an increasingly younger age. The glorification of the ideal, thin body type surrounds youths, in direct contrast to the increasing rates of overweight and obesity among the same population. The messages that children and adolescents are receiving are directly linked to the development of a negative body image, which can lead to unhealthy eating patterns, extreme dieting behaviors, and the development of more serious eating disorders. This article addresses these issues and discusses ways that educators can help prevent further cases of eating disorders among youths. (Contains 5 tables.) (Author). |
