  • Body size dissatisfaction among young Chinese children in Hong Kong

    Open AccessGemma Knowles, Fiona Chun Man Ling et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2015

    Objective To determine the potential predictors of body size dissatisfaction in Chinese children. Design The Child’s Body Image Scale was used to assess body size perception and dissatisfaction. BMI was calculated from objectively measured height and weight. Predictors of body size dissatisfaction were examined by logistic regression analysis. Setting Hong Kong, China. Subjects Six hundred and twenty children (53 % boys, aged 6·1–12·9 years) from…

    Open AccessFiona Cm Ling, Fiona Chun Man Ling et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2015Citada por: 1Referências: 39

    This study examined the association between propensity for emotional rehearsal, body image self-perception and weight status in Chinese Hong Kong pre-adolescents. Children 8-12 years of age ( n = 278) completed measurement of body mass index, body image and emotional rehearsal. Multinomial regression analyses revealed that body mass index was positively associated with body image dissatisfaction and a significant predictor of body size estimation…

  • Validity of self-estimated adiposity assessment against general and central adiposity in Hong Kong adolescents

    Open AccessKwok-Kei Mak, Kwok‐kei Mak et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2013

    Self-estimated adiposity using the Stunkard's body silhouette scale was positively associated with actual measures of adiposity; however, the association was modest at best. It is unlikely that the Stunkard's body silhouette scale provides a suitably accurate substitute for actual body composition measures in Chinese adolescents

  • Health-related physical fitness and weight status in Hong Kong adolescents

    Open AccessKwok-Kei Mak, Kwok‐kei Mak et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The relations between BMI and health-related physical fitness in adolescents were non-linear. Overweight/obese and underweight adolescents had poorer performance in push-up and sit-up tests than normal weight adolescents. Different aspects of health-related physical fitness may serve as immediate indicators of potential health risks for underweight and overweight adolescents

  • Peak oxygen uptake in relation to age, sex, and maturation in Hong Kong Chinese children

    Open AccessAlison M Mcmanus, Tak Chung Yung et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2004

    This cross‐sectional study was designed to provide baseline information on peak oxygen uptake for Southern Chinese children in relation to age and sexual maturation. Sixty‐three boys and 84 girls, classified for stage of sexual maturation using Tanner's stages, successfully completed a peak oxygen uptake test. ANOVA was used to examine differences in absolute and mass‐related peak VO 2 . The least‐squares log‐linear relationship between mass and …

  • Aerobic fitness of prepubescent children

    Open AccessNeil Armstrong, Brian Kirby et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1995

    This study was designed to enhance understanding of the assessment and interpretation of the aerobic fitness of prepubertal children. Written informed consent to participate was obtained from 70% of the children in year six of the 15 state schools in the city of Exeter. Twenty-five per cent of the eligible children in each school were randomly selected from those who volunteered. The data reported here are those obtained from the 111 boys (11.1 S…
