Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in the prevalence of weight reduction behaviors (WRBs) among European adolescents from 26 countries between 2001/2002 and 2017/ 2018. The impact of the perception of body weight on WLB was also analyzed, with particular attention being paid to overestimation.
