和父母一起吃饭的青少年更健康

Professor Fiese spoke out after reviewing 17 studies on eating patterns and nutrition involving almost 200,000 children and teenagers。

费瑟教授是在回顾了17项有关饮食结构和营养状况的研究之后，发表上述评论的。这些研究涵盖了近20万儿童和青少年。

She found that teens who eat at least five meals a week with their families are 35 percent less likely to be ‘disordered eaters’。

她发现，那些一周和家人共餐至少五次的青少年，患饮食紊乱的可能性要低35%。

The definition of disordered eating involves bingeing followed by vomiting - a tack favoured by those suffering bulimia - taking diet pills or laxatives, skipping meals, eating very little and smoking to keep a lid on weight。

饮食紊乱包括暴食之后催吐(暴食症患者最爱用的方法)、吃减肥药或泻药、不吃饭、吃得极少，以及为保持体重而吸烟。

Even three family meals a week helped, with youngsters 12 percent less likely to be overweight than those who ate with their families less often。

就算孩子每周只和家人一起吃三顿饭，他们超重的可能性也比其他不常和家人一起吃饭的孩子要低12%。

They were also 24 percent more likely to eat healthy foods and have healthy eating habits than those who didn’t share three meals with their families, the journal Pediatrics reports。
