In Norway, the ethnic Sami people have had higher BMI and lower height than their non-Sami peers. This article aimed to examine if previous findings of higher obesity measures in Sami compared to non-Sami persist when applying an adequately height-corrected weight ...

    • Symptomer på spiseforstyrrelser og fornøydhet med egen kropp 

      Kvaløy, Kirsti; Melhus, Marita; Silviken, Anne; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-03-16)
      I dagens samfunn er overvekt og fedme hyppig forekommende og har derfor blitt mer akseptert i store deler av befolkningen. Samtidig fokuseres det i media på at idealet er å være slank, sunn og i god fysisk form. I to studier av deltakere i SAMINOR 2 – den kliniske undersøkelsen (2012–2014), var vi interessert i å studere symptomer på spiseforstyrrelser (Studie 1) og om underestimering av overvekt ...

      <i>Objectives</i>: Underestimation of overweight/obesity may prevent weight loss attempts, resulting in further weight gain and maintenance of overweight. Mental health benefits may nevertheless surpass negative consequences. Our main objective was to study the association between underestimation of overweight/obesity and symptoms of anxiety and depression in Sami and non-Sami populations.<p> < ...
