Conclusions
In the present study, the ideal weight and ideal BMI
values were higher than the current weight and current
BMI in the males, but lower in the females, whereas ideal
body shape was smaller than the perception of current
body shape in the females, but not significantly different
in the males. In addition, restrained eating, emotional
eating, and external eating as measured by the DEBQ
were higher in the females than in the males. Among the
normal-weight participants, all three of these eating
indexes were higher in the females as compared to the
males, and among the underweight participants, restrained
eating and external eating were higher in the females than
the males. Taken altogether, our results indicate that at
least in Japanese university students, the gender differences
regarding ideal body shape are related to eating
behavior.
