Ninety adolescent girls, aged 12-19 years, provided a self-assessment of weight status. Participants also completed questionnaires to assess attitudes/behaviours toward food and eating, appetitive responsiveness to the food environment, disinhibition in eating and weight history.

Glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) was similar between those who did and did not report ever being overweight. Because of the ill-health effects of disordered eating...Continue Reading
