Este estudo avaliou a imagem corporal e as atitudes alimentares de uma amostra de estudantes universitárias de uma faculdade do Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Método: quantitativo, exploratório, descritivo e de corte transversal. Participaram da pesquisa 106 alunas. Foram aplicados três instrumentos, sendo um questionário sócio-demográfico; para avaliar a insatisfação com a imagem corporal foi utilizado o Questionário de Imagem Corporal (Body Shape Questionnaire-BSQ) e para a identificação da presença de distúrbios de atitudes alimentares foi utilizado o Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (Eating Attitude Test-EAT-26). Resultados indicaram, pelo EAT26, que 15,2% das alunas tinham escore sugestivo de distúrbio alimentar (acima de 21) e 84,8% escore igual ou inferior a 21, portanto indicativo de ausência de distúrbio alimentar. Tanto a idade quanto o IMC e a frequência semanal de atividade física são semelhantes nos grupos identificados pelo EAT26 como sem distúrbio ou com provável distúrbio alimentar. As médias para a idade em cada grupo foram 24,86 e 25,44 anos; IMC médio de 21,78 e 22,77; e média de 3,83 e 3,33 de vezes/semana de prática de atividade física. Em relação ao BSQ, seu resultado foi conclusivo para 95 alunas, as quais se distribuíram em 74,7% sem transtorno, 11,6% com transtorno leve, 8,4% com transtorno moderado e 5,3% com transtorno grave.

  Introducción: En los deportes gimnásticos ciertas medidas morfológicas como el peso, un índice de masa corporal (IMC) y un porcentaje de grasa bajo adquieren importancia para el éxito deportivo. La preocupación excesiva por estos factores o alteración de la Imagen Corporal (IC), puede llevar a estos gimnastas a padecer Trastornos de Conducta Alimentaria (TCA). Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio fue analizar los TCA y la IC en practicantes de deportes gimnásticos mediante una revisión sistemática. Material y método: Siguiendo la lista de verificación “PRISMA” se realizó la búsqueda en cinco bases de datos electrónicas (WOS, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Scopus y Google Scholar), de estudios transversales en inglés, español y portugués publicados desde enero del 2000 hasta diciembre del 2020. La selección fue realizada por tres investigadores en dos etapas (cribado y aplicación de criterios de elegibilidad). Se registraron edad, sexo, tamaño muestral, calidad metodológica, variables, instrumento y resultados en 16 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: El 56,25% de los estudios resaltan la insatisfacción corporal, así como el riesgo de padecer TCA en gimnastas de mayor nivel competitivo, resultando como factores causantes fundamentalmente la insatisfacción corporal y la presión del entorno sobre todo en el periodo de la adolescencia. El instrumento más utilizado fue Eating Attitude Test 26 (EAT-26) (75%). Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos indican que existe gran riesgo en gimnastas de padecer TCA, destacando la aparición en categorías superiores, siendo una de las principales causas, la distorsión e insatisfacción con la IC.  Abstract. Introduction: In gymnastic sports, certain morphological measures such as weight, body mass index (BMI) and low-fat percentage are important for sporting success. Excessive preoccupation with these factors, or altered Body Image (BI), can lead to eating disorders (ED) in gymnasts. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse ED and CI in gymnastics athletes through a systematic review. Material and methods: Following the "PRISMA" checklist, five electronic databases (WOS, PubMed, Sports Discuss, Scopus and Google Scholar) were searched for cross-sectional studies in English, Spanish and Portuguese published from January 2000 to December 2020 Selection was performed by three investigators in two stages (screening and application of eligibility criteria). Age, sex, sample size, methodological quality, variables, instrument and results were recorded in 16 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Results: 56.25% of the studies highlight body dissatisfaction, as well as the risk of suffering from ED in gymnasts at a higher competitive level, with body dissatisfaction and environmental pressure being the main causal factors, especially in the adolescent period. The most commonly used instrument was the Eating Attitude Test 26 (EAT-26) (75%). Conclusion: The results obtained indicate that gymnasts are at high risk of suffering from BAD, with a high incidence in the higher categories, one of the main causes being distortion and dissatisfaction with the CI.

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate dietary quality of adolescents by using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and to assess their eating attitudes by the EAT-26 Eating Attitude Test. Methods: Eight schools; four primary schools and four secondary schools were randomly selected from the school list of official website of Istanbul Education National Directorate. Five hundred and ninety-eight students who met the inclusion criteria included in the study, 24 h dietary recalls were collected to calculate their HEI scores and eating attitudes were evaluated by EAT-26 Eating Attitude Test. Their weight, height and waist circumference were measured. Results: According to HEI scores, only two (0.3%) of adolescents had high quality diet, 379 (63.4%) had diet quality that needed improvement and 217 (36.3%) had poor diet. Regarding Eating Attitude Test scores, 513 (85.8%) had normal attitudes regarding eating behaviors. Conclusion: Almost all of the participants need either development or major changes in their eating behaviors. Interventions aiming high quality diet among adolescents are strongly recommended.

Disordered Eating Attitudes

Abstract Objectives: To validate an Arabic version of the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) and identify factors (such as depression, stress, anxiety and body dissatisfaction) that might be associated with disordered eating among a sample of the Lebanese population. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: All Lebanese governorates. Participants: A total of 811 participants randomly selected participated in this 5-month study (January–May 2018). Results: The EAT-26 scale items converged over a solution of six factors that had an eigenvalue over 1, explaining a total of 60·07 % of the variance (Cronbach’s α = 0·895). The prevalence of disordered eating attitudes was 23·8 %. Higher EAT-26 scores (disordered eating attitudes) were significantly associated with higher depression (β = 0·325), higher emotional eating (β = 0·083), daily weighing (β = 3·430), higher physical activity (β = 0·05), starving to reduce weight (β = 4·94) and feeling pressure from TV/magazine to lose weight (β = 3·95). Conclusions: The Arabic version of EAT-26 can be a useful instrument for screening and assessing disordered eating attitudes in clinical practice and research. Some factors seem to be associated with more disordered eating attitudes among participants for whom psychological counseling may be needed. Yet, our findings are considered preliminary, and further studies are warranted to confirm them.

Introdução. A insatisfação corporal aumentou nos últimos anos, devido à busca de se enquadrar em um padrão definido, o que pode levar os jovens a se submeterem a medidas drásticas, como o uso de substâncias anabolizantes ou anorexígenas, além do maior risco de atitudes alimentares patológicas. Objetivo. Avaliar a satisfação corporal de acadêmicos matriculados em faculdades em uma cidade do interior de Minas Gerais, dividindo-os em cursos de área “saúde” e “não saúde”, e buscar a prevalência de atitudes alimentares patológicas, uso de medicamentos anorexígenos e anabolizantes. Materiais e Métodos. Pesquisa de corte transversal, baseada na aplicação de questionários preenchidos por estudantes de faculdades de Barbacena, MG. Foram incluídos apenas maiores de 18 anos que consentiram em participar do estudo e foram aplicados os questionários Body Shape Questionaire (“BSQ”)`, e Eating Attitude Test(“EAT-26”). Resultados. O grupo não “saúde” apresentou maior média de IMC [23,4(DP±4,35) x22,69(DP±3,34)]. Já o grupo “saúde” apresentou maior prática de atividade física (44,04%x32,40%), insatisfação corporal (46,79%x31,77%), presença de atitudes alimentares patológicas (17,25%x9,03%), e uso de substâncias anorexígenas e anabolizantes (16,88%x10,18%).Conclusão. Os universitários estão, na maioria, satisfeitos com a imagem corporal e não apresentam atitudes alimentares patológicas, entretanto dentre aqueles que as apresentam, os do grupo “saúde” tiveram maior prevalência de insatisfação corporal e atitudes alimentares patológicas, e fazem maior uso de substâncias anorexígenas e anabolizantes, mesmo com o maior conhecimento repassado pelas disciplinas de graduação de estudantes da saúde, que abordam mais sobre os efeitos e riscos do uso indiscriminado de tais substâncias e da importância de uma alimentação saudável.

The purpose was to examine the rate of alexithymia as measured by the Toronto Alexithymia Scale in a clinical sample of obese women without Binge Eating Disorder. Subjects included 165 inpatients in an eating disorder unit and 135 normal-weight individuals (comparison group). The obese subjects also completed a series of tests including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, the Anxiety Scale Questionnaire, and the Eating Attitude Test. Analysis showed that the subgroups of obese persons differ in important ways and cannot necessarily be treated, studied, or understood through a single paradigm. Alexithymic behaviour, too, was not characteristic of obesity, but it was present only in the subgroup of subjects with psychopathological characteristics.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to evaluate children in Bratislava, Slovakia. The survey sample consisted of 276 children aged 9 -12 who were tested using the Children’s Eating Attitude Test as a diagnostic tool for testing young people, who show a proclivity towards having eating issues, a possibility of anorexia, or a possible problem with bulimic tendencies. The study analyses the components of the test and the scores of children to whom it was administered, and come to conclusions as to its usefulness in diagnosing eating issues in children between grades 4 and 6. It also examines the comparisons between the children in Slovakia and the children in Australian studies in order to see if the scores correlate and what similarities and differences are present between the two groups studied.
