Monday, June 03, 2002"The study found the percentage of girls who said that they induced themselves to vomit to control their weight was zero in 1995. By 1998 it had reached 11.3 per cent. Subjects living in a house with a television set were three times more likely to show symptoms of eating disorders. By 1998 dieting had become common among the studied group with 69 per cent stating they had dieted to lose weight at some time and 74 per cent reporting they felt "too big or fat" on occasion. The girls also admitted, in interview, that they admired the fictional characters and tried to copy them." The power of television. It's not to be underestimated. posted by Sydney on 6/03/2002 05:38:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
