| CMCH Synopsis: |
Over 2,500 teens participated in a five-year study about how often they read dieting or weight loss magazine articles, how they felt about their body, and whether they engaged in different dieting behaviors.
Researchers found that girls who read magazine articles about weight loss in the first survey were more likely to have negative food-related behaviors than girls who didnt read these kinds of articles. © Center on Media and Child Health
