The Moving to Health (M2H) approach to natural experiment research: A paradigm shift for studies on built environment and health
Improving the built environment (BE) is viewed as one strategy to improve community diets and health. The present goal is to review the literature on the effects of BE on health, highlight its limitations, and explore the growing use of natural experiments in BE research, such as the advent of new supermarkets, revitalized parks, or new transportation systems.

The prevalence of bulimia nervosa in the US college student population
A phone survey to determine the prevalence of bulimia nervosa was conducted with a national probability sample of 1,007 male and female students from a stratified sample of 53 universities and colleges in the continental United States.

Bulimia was most prevalent (2.2 per cent prevalence rate) among undergraduate women …
Body composition, body size estimation, and attitudes towards eating in male college athletes
A number of different parameters relating to eating history and body composition were examined in male college athletes during the course of an athletic season.

By the end of the athletic season, the wrestlers had reduced body weights and reported a reduction in…

In contrast, men are reported to be generally satisfied with their body weight and body shape. The present survey study examined the relative desire for thinness or weight gain among 226 male and female freshman students. Most 18-year-old women (85%) wished to lose weight. Men expressed conflicting views regarding desire for thinness and…
