Intentions : « The present study evaluated the behavioural factors associated with overweight among adolescent girls. Behaviours evaluated included social aspects of eating, breakfast skipping, emotional eating, and binge and restraint eating. » (p. i)
Questions/Hypothèses : « The null hypotheses were that there was no association between emotional eating, breakfast skipping, social aspects of eating, and binge eating and eating restraint with teen girls’ risk of overweight and that there was no association between mothers’ eating behaviours with that of their daughters. The alternative hypotheses were that: 1. Mother’s eating behaviours were associated with their daughters eating behaviours; and that 2. Eating behaviours were associated with adolescents’ risk for overweight. » (p. 54)

3. Résumé
« With increasing prevalence of obesity among youth, more research is required to look at the psychosocial aspects of eating to find effective interventions to promote optimal eating behaviours. Binge eating and infrequent eating of family meals was found to be positively associated with daughters’ adiposity and mothers’ glucose intolerance during pregnancy. The thesis was novel in that it suggested that behavioural factors contribute to the trans-generational effects of pregnancies affected by glucose intolerance and provided a broader perspective important for formulating intervention strategies aimed at high-risk women and their offspring. » (p. i)
