Abstract

This study assessed the relationship between weight-based teasing from parents and siblings and indices of psychosocial functioning among adolescent military dependents. After adjusting for relevant covariates, including BMIz, family weight-based teasing was associated with greater depressive symptomatology, eating pathology, and poorer psychosocial functioning.
