Dieting for weight-control among older adults: The role of perceived health and perceived overweight status.
CONCLUSIONS: Older age is associated with less weight-control dieting among people without obesity. Although overweight perception may have a stronger impact on dieting during younger age, health perception may have a stronger impact on dieting during older age, suggesting that the motivation behind weight-control diets may potentially change throughout the adult lifespan.
