Abstract
We examined associations among weight-related quality of life, resilience, Body Mass Index, and stress among youth with high body weights and their caregivers. Linear regression modeling indicated that more youth-reported resilience and less impairment in youth weight-related quality of life (per caregiver report) were related to lower youth stress.
