“…The findings from the present study may suggest that it may be informative for future studies to further explore the underlying weightspecific factors related to regular consumption of breakfast. For example, in addition to cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of US adolescents that suggest body dissatisfaction, weight-related teasing from peers or family members, which can lead to distress and less frequent meal consumption (36)(37)(38) , future studies should explore whether parental pressure to eat regularly may serve as a weightspecific factor related to regular consumption of meals among adolescents below the 15th percentile of sex-and age-specific BMI.…”

Objective: To examine how the associations between meal consumption and body mass index (BMI) over 8 years differ by weight status in a sample of adolescents. Design: Longitudinal, population-based study. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner consumption and BMI were self-reported. Linear regressions were used to examine how the associations between meal consumption and BMI differed by weight status. Setting: Adolescents in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. Participants: Adolescents (N=1,471) were surveyed as part of the EAT 2010-2018 in 2009-2010 (Mage=14.3 years) and 2017-2018 (Mage=22.0 years). Results: The prevalence of regular breakfast, lunch, and dinner consumption (≥ 5 times/week) ranged from 45-65%, 75-89%, and 76-94%, respectively, depending on weight status category. Among adolescents with a sex and age-specific BMI <15th percentile, regular consumptions of breakfast, lunch, and dinner during adolescence were positively associated with BMI in emerging adulthood compared to irregular consumption of breakfast, lunch, and dinner (<5 times/week) after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics (β=5.43, β=5.39, and β=6.46, respectively; all p-values <.01). Among adolescents in the BMI 15th-85th and 85th- 95th percentiles, regular consumptions of breakfast, lunch, and dinner were positively associated with BMI but to a lesser extent (p-values <.01). For participants with a BMI ≥ 95th percentile, regular consumptions of breakfast, lunch, and dinner were positively associated with BMI, but the associations were not statistically significant (p-values > .05). Conclusions: The relationship between meal consumption during adolescence and BMI in emerging adulthood differs by adolescent weight status. Future studies should investigate underlying factors related to meal consumption routines and BMI.

“…In this study, the values for ANOVA (F = 4.17, p = 0.001) indicated the significance of the complete model and, therefore, the validity of the model when making predictions about students' social skills, as previously shown [139] (Table 5). The R2 and the root mean square error (RMSE) of the independent variables were then calculated to check the fit of the model and the ability of the SSSYI scale to predict social skills since, according to some theorists, this is the best analysis for this calculation [103]. The multiple linear regression (MLR) analyses of the input data set for social skills obtained values of R = 0.888 and R2 Adjusted = 0.787.…”

Nationality as an Influential Variable with Regard to the Social Skills and Academic Success of Immigrant Students

This study aims to expand the existing scientific, theoretical and empirical knowledge about the influence of the variables age, gender, nationality and place of residence on the probability of developing social skills that generate social wellbeing, and, in addition, to identify the relationship between the most influential variable and the academic success of immigrant students. We hope that the educational community, in an intercultural context, can benefit from and apply this knowledge to assist immigrant students. In this study, a sample of n = 749 students aged between 12 and 18, of 41 different nationalities, is analyzed using the Social Skills Scale for Young Immigrants (SSSYI). Data analysis is performed with the SPSS and STATA statistical programs. Multiple linear regression (MLR) analyses verify that nationality is the most influential variable. In addition, when calculating the Pearson correlation, high and positive correlations are found between social skills, nationality and students’ grades, with which academic success was measured. In conclusion, we find that students who emigrated from the European continent present better social skills, better social wellbeing and greater academic success.

“…In some cases, there is no presence of a serious disorder, but manifestations of unhealthy attitudes occur, a condition called disordered eating. Disordered eating behaviors include the use of medications for weight control, laxatives, the practice of excessive exercises without professional guidance/monitoring, the act of skipping meals or not eating, and obsession with counting the calories of the food consumed 9 .…”

Objective: Evaluate differences in disordered eating symptoms between men and women who practice CrossFit and to evaluate its predictors in this population. Methods: A cross-sectional study (April to June 2019) was carried out with 194 adults (103 women and 91 men) enrolled in private CrossFit boxes in Brazil, with a mean age of 30.19 years (SD = 5.34). Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (disordered eating), the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (body-ideal internalization), and the Drive for Muscularity Scale (drive for muscularity). A series of Student's t-tests was applied to test differences in disordered eating symptoms between men and women. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to evaluate predictors of disordered eating for both sexes. Results: Women showed greater disordered eating symptoms, dietary restrictions and excessive concern about thinness than men. Moreover, younger women with a higher BMI are more likely to have disordered eating symptoms. Higher drive for muscularity and greater general body-ideal internalization were also associated with disordered eating among women. In men, muscularity-oriented behavior was the only predictor of disordered eating. Conclusion: These findings are relevant, as they point out that women who practice CrossFit seem to be a high risk group for the development of eating disorders. In addition, muscularity-oriented behaviors in men and the drive for muscularity, internalization of the ideal body, BMI and age in women are predictors of disordered eating in CrossFit practitioners.
