Our results reveal an important association between
disturbed eating behaviour in adolescence and the prevalence
of overweight and obesity in young adulthood independent
of baseline and parental BMI. This finding
underlines the importance of this relationship independent
of prior body weight. Our findings mirror those of Quick
et al. [39], who assessed behavioural and other factors
hypothesised to be relevant for later obesity in 15-year-old
non-overweight adolescents. Unhealthy weight control
practices, such as dieting and purging, binge eating, weight
concerns, and higher levels of body dissatisfaction, together
with parental weight-related concerns, predicted the
incidence of overweight 10 years later. In a study by Micali
et al. [40] with a much shorter observation period than our
study, eating disorder symptoms at age 13 (with the
exception of food restriction) were prognostic indicators of
higher BMI 2 years later, even when adjusting for the
original BMI.
