抄録

The increasing prevalence of females with BMI of less than 18.5 throughout the past two decades has been emphasized by the National Nutrition Survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, and some experts have expressed concern that it is getting more prevalent among the younger generation. However, no previous study has systematically looked into this matter, so in order to identify the frequency of “thinness” in children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years, and factors associated with such conditions (i.e., the desire for thinness, unhealthy dieting, etc), we systematically reviewed articles published in Japan from 1995 to 2002 by retrieving major journals and through the “ICHU-SHI” electronic database.<br>A total of 21 studies was included in this review, and excluding one cohort study, all of them were cross-sectional studies, 19 out of 21 concerning adolescents. A quantitative analysis of the combined data to evaluate the overall frequency of “thinness” was not possible due to inconsistent standards. However, girls were more likely than boys to possess “desire for thinness” and “misconceived body image”, and more girls than boys were engaged in “dieting.” Corresponding studies in this review have reported that the psychophysiological risks would increase as the frequency of “thinness” and “unhealthy dieting” increased, so it is urgent to establish an effective intervention program to educate younger people about the importance of a healthy diet.
