Overweight and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as their clustering, are increasingly prevalent among adolescents.

Few studies have examined the dietary patterns of adolescents and the social and environmental factors that may affect them during this life stage.

Accurate measurement of dietary intake is essential for understanding the long-term effects of adolescent diet on chronic disease risk.

The aims of the present study were to (i) examine the relationship between children's degree of adiposity and psychosocial functioning; and (ii) compare patterns of clustering of psychosocial measures between healthy weight and overweight/obese children.

Autistic people and those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are at a high risk of developing an eating disorder.
