On the basis of expressions of concern for their dietary practices, those noting much concern were more likely to practice nutrient supplementation as a margin of safety against possible dietary deficiencies and to rate their diets as good. Although those subjects were more likely to view their body size with satisfaction than subjects in other groups, the majority in each group tended to believe that they were overweight. Diets of those expressing much concern were more likely to meet 100% of the RDAs than diets of other groups.
