| Abstrakt: | The article discusses research regarding youth weight perceptions and weight-control intention in America, and it mentions the impacts of sex and body mass index (BMI) on perception and intention. The COMPASS study, which collects from students in grades 9 through 12 and their secondary schools in Ontario and Alberta, Canada, is examined. It states that accurate perceptions about weight were more likely once students' BMI levels reached the obese range. |
