['To examine factors associated with weight dissatisfaction, a risk factor for eating disorders, among female Marine recruits.', 'A diverse adolescent/young adult sample of 2157 female recruits completed a questionnaire upon entering Marine Corps training. Weight dissatisfaction was the main variable of interest.', 'Body mass index (BMI), disordered eating history, and worry about meeting military "weight" were related highly to weight dissatisfaction. Women with BMIs near the upper limit of the Marine Corps weight standard (23.5 kg/m2) reported the highest rates of weight dissatisfaction. Those who reported vomiting, binging or pill use, or being worried about "making weight" were four and five times, respectively, more likely to report weight dissatisfaction.'] Are body mass index and disordered eating behaviors associated with weight dissatisfaction in adolescent and young adult female military recruits?
