摘要

目的：本研究的目的為評估在不同等級的體重下，一大樣本數中的青少男和青少女對現況體態不滿的程度。方法：調查對象是來自於台灣台北縣的國中生883 位，年齡介於12-16 歲之間。利用外型描繪評分尺度（The ContourDrawing Rating Scale）來評估年輕族群對現況體態不滿的程度。結果：台灣年輕族群對現況體態不滿的情況是普遍盛行的，尤其是女生。男生或女生對體態不滿的程度與體重過重的程度固然有相關，但有些女生，雖沒有過重或肥胖的問題，卻仍然對現況體態不滿。男生和女生都明顯地嚮往變瘦，但有一些男生則是希望能變得高大。結論：本研究增加對東方文化（如：台灣）中，體態不滿程度與體重狀況相關性的了解。

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate the level of body shape dissatisfaction among a large sample of adolescent boys and girls within different weight categories. Methods: A total sample of 883 adolescents aged 12 to 16 was included from junior high schools in Taipei County, Taiwan. The Contour Drawing Rating Scale was used to assess body shape dissatisfaction. Results: Body shape dissatisfaction is prevalent in Taiwanese adolescents, particularly for girls. This is linked to degree of overweight in both boys and girls but is also prevalent in girls who are not overweight or obese. Girls and boys clearly aspire to thinness but some boys would also prefer to be larger. Conclusions: This study extends our understanding of body shape dissatisfaction and its relationship with weight status in eastern cultures such as Taiwan.
