College students' perceived weight status, knowledge, attitudes, and practices, in relation to BMI classification and lifestyle weight management.

Thesis (M.A.)--Howard University, 2008.

Obesity is described as an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, with the former exceeding the latter (Hamdy, 2003). Research has shown high obesity rates, among college students, that will likely increase with age (Volicer, et al., 2003). In an attempt to assess this rising epidemic, and its impact on lifestyle weight management, this study analyzed secondary data from a sample of male (n=14) and female (n=91) undergraduate students from a Historically Black College and University in the Mid-Atlantic region. The study assessed the relationships between perceived weight status, knowledge, attitudes, and practices, in relation to BMI classification and lifestyle weight management. Results indicated: (a) higher BMI classifications among African-American students compared to other ethnic groups, and (b) significant correlations for perceived weight status, practice and food knowledge, in relation to BMI classification. Results received literature support and indicate the need for individual and structural interventions for this population.
