This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: Assess the association between self-esteem (SE) and energy balance (EB) and risk for disordered eating (DE) and EB in college freshmen. In addition, evaluating if a combined low SE and risk for DE are predictive of a negative EB. Method: Fifteen female and five male freshmen students from the University of Nevada, Reno volunteered for the five-day study. On the first appointment day, subjects completed a questionnaire regarding demographics, a 24-hour recall, and body composition analysis and were provided with an accelerometer and physical activity log. Subjects wore the accelerometer and completed the physical activity log over the duration of the study. On the fifth day of the study period, subjects revisited the nutrition laboratory and returned their accelerometer and physical activity log and completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) questionnaire and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) questionnaire. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), t-tests, logistic regression and linear regression were conducted. Results: The study found non-significant differences of means for energy intake (EI), total energy expenditure (TEE) and energy balance (EB) between individuals who were at risk for DE and not at risk for DE (p=0.458; p=0.931; p=0.499, respectively). There were non-significant differences of means for EI, TEE, and EB between individuals with normal self-esteem (SE) and high SE (p=0.198; p=0.181; p=0.091, respectively). For the body mass index (BMI) categories of underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese, there were no significant differences of means for EI, TEE, and EB (p=0.447; p=0.213; p=0.212, respectively). SE and risk for DE did not predict EB when it was expressed as two categories. In the final linear regression model, no significant association was found between low SE and EB. However, those subjects at risk for DE had a significant 1,630 kcalorie greater EB deficit compared to individuals not at risk for DE when holding age, sex, race, and BMI (kg/m 2 ) constant (p=0.080 and p=0.053, respectively). Race also significantly predicted EB in the final linear regression model. Whites were more likely to be in a positive EB than Hispanics (p=0.039). Discussion: Long periods of being in a state of energy imbalance can result in weight gain or weight loss. These findings offer a potential explanation for the average 2 to 7 pound weight gain observed during the freshmen year in college and the role of risk for DE on EB. These results suggest that evaluating psychological factors such as risk for DE may help differentiate who will gain, maintain, or lose weight as a college freshman.

Download or read book Activity Anorexia written by W. Frank Epling and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides researchers and clinicians with an insight into recent developments in activity anorexia. Much of the basic information on the topic has come from animal literature; the theory of activity anorexia is built on an animal model of self-starvation (rats placed on a single daily feeding run more and more, over days stop eating, and die of starvation). Additionally, experiments that for ethical or practical reasons could not be done with humans may be conducted with other animals. The animal research is extending the understanding of biologically-based reward mechanisms that regulate eating and exercise, environment-behavior interactions that affect anorexia, and the biochemical changes that accompany physical activity and starvation. Increasingly, however, the impact of physical activity on human anorexia is being directly investigated--eight out of fourteen research chapters in this volume are based on human research. Some researchers are interested in the impact of hyperactivity and caloric restriction on human reproductive function. Other authors are investigating physically active subgroups of people considered to be at risk for anorexia. Finally, several clinician/researchers suggest how physical activity and extreme dieting interact for anorexia nervosa patients. Chapter authors were asked to present their views independent of the editors' argument that, when it is present, physical activity is central to anorexia. Many of the contributors disagree with the editors about the details of activity anorexia. A few suggest that excessive physical activity is either incidental to, or an epiphenomenon of, anorexia. Most authors are, however, in accord with the view that physical activity reduces food consumption which further drives up activity that results in even less caloric intake. No matter what their perspective, all contributors agree that hyperactivity frequently accompanies self-starvation in humans and other animals. The end result is a lively book that provides a source of ideas for both researchers and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the relationship between energy balance and obesity is essential to develop effective prevention programs and policies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer convened a Working Group of world-leading experts in December 2015 to review the evidence regarding energy balance and obesity, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries, and to consider the following scientific questions: (i) Are the drivers of the obesity epidemic related only to energy excess and/or do specific foods or nutrients play a major role in this epidemic? (ii) What are the factors that modulate these associations? (iii) Which types of data and/or studies will further improve our understanding? This book provides summaries of the evidence from the literature as well as the Working Group's conclusions and recommendations to tackle the global epidemic of obesity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BackgroundThe eating disorders (ED) are real addictive behavior that may causes real suffering for the patient and affect his self-esteem. AimsTo estimate prevalence rate of ED.To investigate dysfunctional eating behaviors and relationships between ED and low self-esteem.Methods:A 47-item anonymous online survey was conducted among college students (N=42), via Facebook, on February 2018 designed to record some sociodemographic and clinical data.We used the u201cEating Attitudes Testu201d (EAT26) and the u201cRosenberg self-esteem scaleu201d to evaluate ED and self-esteem.Results: The mean age of participants was 17 years, with a sex ratio of 0.75. Body mass index average was 21.21 kg/m2 (it ranged between 17.11 and 30.08 kg/m2 ). 7.2% of students have overweight or obesity. Regular physical activity was reported by 38.1% of them. According to Rosenberg self-esteem scale, 81% of subjects were classified as low or very low self esteem with a mean score of 27.16. The prevalence of ED in students was 33.3% with mean score of 15.71. . This prevalence of ED is higher among girls than boys (37.5% vs 27.8%, p =0.508). BMI score was higher in eating disorder group but the relationship was not significant. Low or very low self esteem were frequent among eating disorder group (64.3%) but the relationship was not significant with the EAT-26 scores (p=0.052).Conclusions:Our study highlighted the psychological distress which could accompany eating disorder and suggest that an earlier focus on self-esteem may be warranted in the treatment of ED.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During late adolescence and the transition to college, students often experience weight increases and significant lifestyle changes including the adoption of unhealthy eating habits and decreased physical activity levels. To address this concern, a science-based, interactive course, designed from a framework of behavioral theories was developed to target improvements in energy balance knowledge and determinants of dietary and physical activity behaviors. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of this course using a comparison group pre-test/post-test design. Thirty-three undergraduate students, ages 18-25, participated in the course, while twenty-six students served as controls. Paired samples t-tests compared pre- to post- responses to knowledge assessments and self-perception surveys. Independent samples t-tests compared mean changes between the intervention and control group. Course evaluations were reviewed to determine to what degree behavioral strategies were perceived to influence student motivation to eat a healthy diet and engage in the recommended amount of physical activity. Significant increases were observed in energy balance knowledge (P

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.

Download or read book Food and the Risk Society written by Charlotte Fabiansson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive understanding of the current scientific knowledge concerning risks associated with food preparation, processing and consumption, with particular attention to the gap between scientific research and public perception. Examining the effects of food on the body from both micro and macro levels, it covers a range of broad themes and current concerns, including obesity and the 'obesity epidemic', the benefits or otherwise of dietary supplements, caffeine consumption, GM food, alcohol, organic food, the consumption of fruit and vegetables, and pathogens and contaminants. Thematically arranged according to the application of broad theoretical approaches in sociological theory – the socio-cultural perspective, the risk society perspective and the governmentality perspective – each chapter focuses on a particular area of interest or concern in relation to food, covering the existing literature in detail and offering illustrative empirical examples, whilst identifying gaps in knowledge and areas for further research. An accessible and rigorous examination of food and health, and the discrepancy between scientific opinion and consumer perception of safe food – the real risks versus the perceived risks – this book will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, geography, food, nutrition and environmental ecosystems, as well as health professionals.
