Eating disorders in school children

Abstract: We observed a high prevalence of possible eating disorders and inappropriate eating behaviors in the study population, especially among female adolescents. These results are similar to those reported for developed countries. The present findings are relevant for the clinical care of children and adolescents and can serve as the basis for future works aimed at increasing our understanding of the risk factors for these illnesses.

“…The high prevalence of dissatisfaction was demonstrated among girls by overweight and among boys by leanness. Similar dissatisfaction data have also been reported by surveys of healthy children and adolescents in the same age range (13)(14)(15)(16)(17) . In these studies, body image dissatisfaction was present in 59 to 82% of participants; this rate may be age-related, as subjects in these age ranges express a substantial concern with body weight from a very early age (13) .…”

“…Estudos recentes (4,23) sobre insatisfação com peso corporal têm demonstrado diferentes resultados quando foram comparados rapazes e moças.

“…De maneira geral, os estudos têm identificado frequências crescentes de insatisfação com a imagem corporal em diferentes faixas etárias, especialmente nos adolescentes (3,(7)(8)(9) e, com relação à influência dos aspectos socioeconômicos nesse desfecho, os resultados apontam para diferentes perspectivas. No estudo de Pereira et al (3) , com adolescentes de Florianópolis (SC), identificou-se uma tendência de os escolares das classes mais altas apresentarem maior insatisfação pela magreza e, das mais baixas, pelo excesso de peso.…”
