Research has revealed that about 40% of adult men and 55% of adult women are dissatisfied with their current body weight. Similar findings have also been reported at high school level, mainly with female students. At the college level, a study found that 85% of both male and female first-year students desired to change their body weight. The primary cause of this concern is the value that American society in general assigns to physical appearance. Thinness is currently an attribute that females desire highly. Males generally desire muscularity. The vast majority of individuals who want to change their body weight do it for the sake of appearance. Most want to lose excess body fat, while a smaller percentage of individuals actually want to gain weight.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，成年人中，約有40%的男人和55%的女人對自己目前的體重不滿意。在中學(xué)生中也有類似發(fā)現(xiàn)，主要存在于女生中。大學(xué)生中，85%的大一新生，不論男女，都想改變自己的體重。這主要是由于美國社會整體上賦予外貌的價值。目前女性最想要的特性是瘦，而男性則是肌肉感。大部分想改變自己體重的人都是為了看起來更好看。多數(shù)人是想減掉多余脂肪，但也有小部分人想要增重。
