Body Appreciation and Weight Control Behaviors in Overweight Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study Informing a CBT-Based Health Promotion Model
Overview
This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between body appreciation and weight control behaviors in 294 adolescents aged 13–16, comparing overweight/obese participants with normal-weight peers. The authors propose a CBT-based health promotion model for overweight youth, utilizing structural equation modeling to demonstrate how body appreciation cognition influences BMI through healthy weight control behaviors. The resource outlines the theoretical framework and empirical validation of this model, which includes cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation components.
