“…"Dieting" DP had greater adherence among girls and wealthier subjects. Consistently, a study carried out by Oellingrath et al [31] with Norwegian pre-teens and adolescents identified four DPs using PCA (snacks, convenient, varied Norwegian, and dieting), reporting greater adherence to "Dieting" DP among girls. Additionally, in a study including Portuguese adolescents aged 13 years, 40% of them adhered to a dietary pattern named "low intake", which was associated with higher proportion of overweight/obese [13].…”

Methods: Longitudinal study carried out in Southern Brazil since 1993. Two food frequency questionnaires were applied at ages 15 and 18 years. The analysis includes 3,911 adolescents. Latent class analysis was used to identify the DPs at 15 and 18 years. Results:We identified four DPs at 15 and 18 years. Three were similar in both ages: "Varied" (30.2% at age 15 years vs. 21.6% at age 18years), "Traditional" (24.9% at age 15 years vs. 23.7% at age 18years) and "Dieting" (19.4% at age 15 years vs. 28.7% at age 18years), and the fourth DP identified labeled "Processed Meats" (25.5%) at 15 years and "Fish, Fast Food and Alcohol" (26.0%) at 18 years. The three DPs identified at both ages showed poor general agreement (Kappa=0.1). DP tracking was observed in about one third of the adolescents. Conclusions:Our findings suggest a high adherence to a "Varied" DP at age 15 years and substantial changes in food habits and choices over time, resulting in an increase in the adherence to a "Dieting" DP at age 18 years.

“…Not surprisingly, overweight in 4th grade appeared to be the most important predictor of overweight in 7th grade. We have previously reported a high degree of BMI tracking from 4th to 7th grade in the same cohort (18) . However, adjusting for physical activity had a larger impact than overweight at 4th grade on the estimated odds ratios for meal skipping.…”

“…The detailed methods for the 4th grade data collection have been described previously (17) . An identical procedure was used for data collection in the 7th grade (18) . In brief, all primary schools in Telemark County were invited to participate in the study at both time points.…”

Objective: To investigate meal pattern longitudinally and explore whether meal skipping was associated with overweight among Norwegian children and adolescents. Design: Longitudinal study. Children's meal frequencies were reported by their parents using a retrospective FFQ. Weight and height were measured by public health nurses. Descriptive data comparing 4th and 7th grade were analysed by paired-sample t tests for continuous variables and x 2 tests for categorical variables. Odds ratio estimates, including confidence intervals, with BMI category (normal/overweight) as the dependent variable, were determined through logistic regression analyses. Results: The number of children eating four main meals per day (regular meal frequency) decreased from 4th grade (47 %) to 7th grade (38 %; P 5 0?001). Those who ate regular meals in 4th grade but not in 7th grade had higher odds (OR 5 3?1; 95 % CI 1?1, 9?0) of being overweight in 7th grade after adjusting for gender, maternal education and physical activity, but the odds ratio was not statistically significant after adjusting for overweight in 4th grade (OR 5 2?8; 95 % CI 0?7, 11?6). Conclusions: The present study showed significant increases in overall meal skipping among children between 4th and 7th grade. The results indicate an association between overweight and meal skipping, but additional prospective and longitudinal analyses and intervention trials are warranted to confirm this relationship.

Objective: To examine gender-specific associations of weight perception and appearance satisfaction with slimming attempts and eating patterns among young Norwegian adolescents. Design: Cross-sectional study. Adolescent dietary data were reported by parents using a retrospective FFQ. Eating patterns were identified using principal component analysis. Adolescents' reported weight perception, appearance satisfaction and slimming attempts were analysed using cross-tabulation and Pearson's χ 2 test. Associations between perceived weight, appearance satisfaction and slimming attempts/eating patterns were examined using multiple logistic regression analysis. Setting: Primary schools, Telemark, Norway. Subjects: Children (n 469), mean age 12·7 (SD 0·3) years, and parents. Results: Gender differences were observed in self-perceived weight and appearance satisfaction. Girls were most satisfied with appearance when feeling thin, boys when feeling just the right weight. Perceived overweight was the main predictor of slimming attempts across genders (adjusted OR = 15·3; 95 % CI 6·0, 39·1 for girls; adjusted OR = 18·2; 95 % CI 5·8, 57·3 for boys). Low appearance satisfaction was associated with slimming attempts (adjusted OR = 3·3; 95 % CI 1·0, 10·5) and a dieting eating pattern (adjusted OR = 2·8; 95 % CI 1·5, 5·2) in girls. Perceived underweight was associated with a junk/convenience eating pattern in boys (adjusted OR = 2·8; 95 % CI 1·2, 6·4). Conclusions: Gender differences were observed in subjective body concerns. Perceived overweight was the main predictor of slimming attempts by both genders. Different aspects of body dissatisfaction were related to different food behaviours in boys and girls. Health professionals should be aware of these gender differences when planning health promotion programmes targeting young adolescents.
