“…Some researchers have already warned about body image satisfaction in adolescence, highlighting the great concern about body weight and shape, which may lead to inadequate eating practices [23]. In addition, it is possible to observe that with age advancement, the percentage of girls at risk for eating disorders in this study decreased, which may indicate that puberty progress reduces the prevalence of inappropriate eating behavior [6].…”

Background: Eating disorders are complex conditions that cause serious emotional and physical problems. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the behavioral risk for eating disorders in Brazilian female adolescents and their association with dental caries and erosion. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 200 students from public and private schools aged 15-18 years divided into two groups according to behavioral risk: Group 1 - adolescents without risk and Group 2 - adolescents at risk / disorder situation. Sociodemographic information (age and type of school), use of dental services, eating habits, and Body Mass Index (BMI) was obtained. The Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh (BITE) was used to identify behavioral risk. Caries experience was assessed using the DMFT index, while dental erosion was evaluated using the O'Sullivan index. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The highest overweight and obesity percentages were verified among adolescents at risk / disorder, respectively, 33% and 16%. There was a statistically significant association between behavioral risk and variables standard dietary pattern (p<0.001), strict diet (p<0.001), fasting for 24 hours (p<0.001), self-induced vomiting (p<0.001), and BMI (p<0.001). There was also a statistically significant difference between behavioral risk and the presence of dental caries (p<0.05) and erosion (p<0.001). Conclusion: Behavioral risk for eating disorders in female adolescents was associated with standard dietary patterns, strict diet and, self-induced vomiting. Adolescents at risk / eating disorders for bulimia were related to dental caries and erosion.

“…The choice for this population group was based on previous studies that pointed out a higher frequency of this condition among females [14,21]. It is possible that the female predominance is due to the adoption of unhealthy eating behaviors as a measure to reduce body fat [6] since women are constantly concerned about their body shape [14].…”

“…BI dissatisfaction since early adolescence can lead to weight control behaviours (9) that can range from healthier behaviours, such as moderate dieting and exercise, to potentially harmful behaviours, such as purging, laxative use, diet pill use and skipping meals (10,11) . Teenagers' reasons for dieting are varied, but BI dissatisfaction and a desire to be slimmer is the motivating factor for the majority (12) .…”

We aimed to evaluate the association of overweight/obesity based in body mass index (BMI) and purgative behaviors with body image (BI). Methods: Cross-sectional study, with probabilistic sample of 976 adolescents, aged 11 to 14 years, from the city of Florianópolis, Brazil. Multivariate analyses were performed. Overweight (including obesity), and four variables related to purgative methods for body weight control or eating behavior were evaluated as outcomes, while body image satisfaction was the primary independent variable in each model. Models were controlled for age, gender, type of school (public or private), intake of fruit and vegetables, number of daily meals, and physical activity scores levels. A total of 31.4% of adolescents wanted to enlarge their silhouette and 45.6% wanted to reduce it. Among overweight/obese adolescents, 9.6% were satisfied with their bodies, while 89.8% wanted to reduce it, while among the not overweight/obese adolescents, 45.4% wanted to enlarge their silhouette (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the odds for overweight/obesity is higher among adolescents who wanted to reduce their silhouette (OR=11.20; 95%CI=5.55-22.58). Adolescents who want to reduce their silhouette are more likely to use diuretics (OR=3.08; CI=1.78-5.32) and to use laxatives (OR=2.10; CI=1.20-3.68). A significant association was also found between dissatisfaction with BI and overeating (among those who want to enlarge their silhouette: OR=1.78; CI=1.12-2.85 and among those who want to reduce their silhouette: OR=1.81; CI=1.03-3.19). Conclusion: BI dissatisfaction was associated with overweight/obesity, as well with overeating, and the use of purgative methods.

Body dissatisfaction is prevalent in women's artistic gymnastics (WAG). Cross-sectional research points to social and individual risk factors, however it does not account for potential changes in body dissatisfaction during an athletic season. This study aimed to determine how gymnasts' body dissatisfaction, risk factors for eating disorders, media internalisation, perfectionism and mood state change during pre-competition, competition and post-competition seasons and to identify how these psychosocial indicators impact on body dissatisfaction during the athletic year. The sample consisted of 20 Brazilian elite women's artistic gymnasts aged 10-16 years. Data were obtained from a 9-month study using: Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ); Eating Attitude Test-26; Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3); Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS); Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) and triceps and subscapular skinfolds. Body dissatisfaction was higher during the competition season and disordered eating, perfectionism and vigour values were higher in the pre-competition season. Disordered eating has been found as the strongest predictor of body dissatisfaction during all seasons, and mood state partly contributed to body dissatisfaction in the competitive season. Stakeholders should understand that body dissatisfaction and the prevalence of disordered eating may change over time.
