Comparison of overweight and obese military‐dependent and civilian adolescent girls with loss‐of‐control eating
Abstract
Limited data suggest that the children of U.S. service members may be at increased risk for disordered‐eating. To date, no study has directly compared adolescent military‐dependents to their civilian peers along measures of eating pathology and associated correlates. We, therefore, compared overweight and obese adolescent female military‐dependents to their civilian counterparts along measures of eating‐related pathology and psychosocial functioning.
