The Relationship

Bodybuilding has increasingly become popular between males since male body shape has become a subject of interest in the last decades. Bodybuilders have desired to gain more muscle and paid attention to their body shape. Based on this purpose, they have string rules that include restrictive eating and excessive exercise program. Recent research has demonstrated that desiring more muscular body shape exhibits eating behavior problems and body dissatisfaction issues in bodybuilders. Limited research exists on the relationship between body dissatisfaction and eating disorders in male bodybuilders. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between body image disturbance and eating disorders in 120 male bodybuilders. The Eating Attitude Test (EAT-40) was used to determine eating disorders, the Muscle Dysmorphia Disorder Inventory was used to determine bigorexia symptoms, and Bodybuilder Image Grid-Original (BIG O) and Scaled (BIG S) forms were used to detect the factors associated with body dissatisfaction. There was a positive relationship between Eating Attitude Test and Muscle Dysmorphia Disorder Inventory total scores. Eating Attitude Test was positively correlated with both fat and muscle dissatisfaction. Our results indicated that eating disorder psychopathology is positively related to body dissatisfaction and body dysmorphic disorders in male bodybuilders.

AbstractBackground:Mother–daughter relationship was the focus of studies on the development of eating disorders (ED) for many years. This study aimed to examine the association between the father–daughter relationship and ED and depressive symptoms.Methods:Fifty-three women diagnosed with ED were compared to a psychiatric control group (n = 26) and to healthy participants (n = 60) regarding their perception of their fathers and the relationship with them. Assessments were done using the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Eating Disorders Questionnaire, the Body Shape Questionnaire, the Eating Attitude Test, and the Beck Depression Inventory as well as narrative-based methods.Results:Fathers’ negative attributes were significantly associated with ED and depressive symptom. Two profiles of father–daughter relationship were found, the “caring and benevolent” relationship and the “overprotective and avoidant” one. In the latter, patients displayed significantly higher levels of food-restraint, more concerns about eating and about their body shape and appearance, and higher levels of depression.Discussion:Negative perception of the father's parenting style as well as the quality of the relationship with him are crucial for the understanding of the development and persistence of ED. Therapeutic programs for ED should focus not only on the relationship with the mother but must also address the relationship with the father.

  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.

O Nutricionista tem papel fundamental no auxílio do controle de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis por meio da promoção da mudança do estilo de vida e de uma alimentação saudável, ressaltando as particularidades de cada indivíduo. É de extrema importância o entendimento do comportamento alimentar de um indivíduo e seus fatores correlacionados. Objetivo foi avaliar a relação do comportamento alimentar com a percepção de imagem corporal de indivíduos. Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica nas bases de dados MEDLINE e LILACS com os descritores “feeding behaviour”, “body image”, “diet”, “nutritionists” e “nutritional status”, utilizando a técnica booleana “AND” e “OR” de artigos publicados entre 2013-2019. No total foram utilizados 32 artigos. A pesquisa dos artigos foi feita no período de junho-setembro de 2019. Os instrumentos mais utilizados para avaliação de comportamento alimentar e imagem corporal foram o Eating Attitude Test-26 e o Body Shape Questionnaire. Na maioria dos estudos foi possível observar a insatisfação corporal em indivíduos eutróficos. Entre crianças e adolescentes, os meninos apresentam maior satisfação com a aparência. Em relação à avaliação da autoimagem, a maioria das adolescentes desejava uma silhueta menor. O comportamento alimentar inadequado e a insatisfação corporal foram observados nestes indivíduos e estão fortemente associados à restrição alimentar. Entre universitários, a insatisfação corporal foi encontrada sobretudo nas mulheres. Aproximadamente, metade das mulheres almeja pesar menos ou sentem-se acima do peso e estão mais susceptíveis à idealização do “corpo perfeito”. Atletas buscam demasiadamente um corpo que condiz com a sua prática esportiva para terem sempre melhor desempenho físico. Aqueles que se percebem acima do peso apresentam um comportamento alimentar mais restritivo. Estes fatores são destacados em crianças e adolescentes, universitários, mulheres e praticantes de exercícios físicos. A autopercepção de imagem corporal está diretamente relacionada com comportamento alimentar e pode até ser considerada um determinante do mesmo.

AbstractBackgroundAlthough the epidemiology of Eating Disorders (ED) has been highly developed in Spain, further research considering false negatives and also the prevalence of these disorders in males are needed. They were the aims of the present study.MethodsOne thousand and seventy six adolescents (500 males and 576 females) participated in a two-stage survey. At the age of 13, apart from exploring numerous clinical and psychosocial variables, they were assessed by means of self-administered screening instruments, the eating attitude test (EAT), bulimic investigatory test Edinburgh (BITE), and body shape questionnaire (BSQ). The subjects were interviewed again 2 years later. Afterwards, 159 probable cases and 150 controls were interviewed by means of the structured interview SCAN.ResultsPrevalence of ED in adolescents was 3.71% (95% CI 2.58–4.83; 6.4% of females, 0.6% of males): anorexia nervosa 0.1%, bulimia nervosa 0.75%, eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) = 2.88%. The rate of false negative was 2.6% of the control group and most of them were EDNOS.ConclusionsThe prevalence of ED obtained in our study, higher than others found in previous Spanish research, and a relatively high percentage of false negatives both indicate that up to now the prevalence of ED in Spanish adolescents could be underestimated.

A total of 107 Malay primary school girls (8–9 yr. old) completed a set of measurements on eating behavior (ChEAT, food neophobia scales, and dieting experience), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, body shape satisfaction, dietary intake, weight, and height. About 38% of the girls scored 20 and more on the ChEAT, and 46% of them reported dieting by reducing sugar and sweets (73%), skipping meals (67%), reducing fat foods (60%) and snacks (53%) as the most frequent methods practiced. In general, those girls with higher ChEAT scores tended to have lower self-esteem ( r = .39), indicating they were more unwilling to try new foods (food neophobic) ( r = .29), chose a smaller figure for desired body size ( r = −.25), and were more dissatisfied with their body size ( r = .31).

In order to explore if neuropsychological deficits on visual constructional ability could be related to risk eating behaviors, a total of 102 women were evaluated, 51 of the participants had been formally diagnosed with eating disorders and 51 did not. All participants were given the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-40), The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure and The Tower of London Task. Results revealed the existence of a deficit on visual integration similar to those observed in other studies with diagnosed patients. The group at risk showed a comparatively reduced ability on the tasks and the control participants' execution was on the average. Findings revealed the need for designing studies to evaluate neuropsychological processes as possible risk factors which predict eating disorders.

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.

Eating disorders and overweight are notable health issues, which are increasing day by day among young adults. Therefore, the study was conducted to evaluate the extent and type of eating disorders among college girls. A sample of 500 college girls in the age group of 18-25 years was randomly selected from five colleges of Ludhiana city, Punjab. Eating disorders were assessed by using Eating Attitude Test (EAT) questionnaire and subjects were categorized into two groups - With Eating Disorders (WED) and Without Eating Disorders (WOED). Prevalence of eating disorders among college girls on basis of EAT scale was 46 percent with higher mean scores of oral control (15.86±6.29) followed by dieting (13.17±8.47), bulimia, and food preoccupation (3.86±1.98). The correlation coefficient showed positive associations of eating disorders with body mass index. This study suggested formulating nutrition and health fitness clubs in colleges to create awareness and practices regarding diet, exercise, and yoga.
