Early childhood risk factors for unhealthy weight control behaviour in adolescents
This study has identified the childhood risk factors for adolescent UWCB. Risk factors that may have potential to be reduced include childhood injury and stressful life events, with the analysis identifying that underweight individuals within these groups are at a heightened risk. Therefore, development of interventions targeting these modifiable stressful events in childhood need to be established and evaluated.
