摘要

本實驗從自我報告取得臺灣體重過重者之身體形像、態度及飲食行為等數據，比較體重正常和肥胖者的差異。50位肥胖與年齡相配的50名體重正常者參與本研究，書寫式問卷使用於實驗數據的收集，數據分析以簡單頻率與t檢驗之方法。結果發現大部分體重正常者覺得自己的體重比實際的重，體重正常組與肥胖組比較，體重認知錯誤的比率較高（72％與24％），不論正常體重或肥胖者對於過重的態度類似，但是部分態度的項目是有顯著差異，肥胖者較體重正常者喜歡吃油炸食物和喝甜的飲料。未來在營養教育上應該針對何為正常的體重與肥胖者的飲食原則的議題來進行更進一步的研究。

This study was designed to obtain baseline data regarding self-reported body image, attitudes toward overweight people, and dietary behaviors of normal-weight and obese women in Taiwan. Fifty obese women (BMI ≧ 27) and age-matched normal-weight women participated in this study. Written questionnaires were used for data collection. Simple frequency and t-test were used to analyze data. In general, the majority of normal-weight women perceived themselves as being heavier than their actual body weight. The normal-weight group had more high inaccurate images of their bodies than that of the obese group (72% vs. 24%). Obese and normal-weight women had similar attitudes to overweight people, but some of their attitudes showed significant differences. Obese women would prefer to consume more fried foods and drink sugar-containing foods than would normal-weight women (p ＜ 0.05). Education about accurate perceptions of what is normal weight for women and adopting energy-diluted foods for obese women is needed in the future.
