Body weight weight perceptions and food intake patterns. A cross-sectional study among male recruits in the Norwegian National Guard

摘要

BackgroundYoung men tend to have a low intake of vegetables and fruit. Unfortunately, this group is difficult to reach with health information. Furthermore, knowledge about weight perceptions and the relationship to food behaviour among young men is scant. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between BMI, health and weight perceptions and food intake patterns among young men in the military.
