“…Approximately 0.5% of adolescents are diagnosed with AN and 3% with BN, of whom 90 and 95% respectively are women [53]. In the present investigation, we found that the increase in BD was associated with an increased risk of developing ED, the risk being higher in girls than in boys, corroborating previous studies [54]. It should be noted that the present study was carried out away from the clinical environment, in adolescents who had not been diagnosed with ED; we found that 6.8% of our sample presented risk behaviors for developing ED.…”

Media influence may lead adolescents to internalize patterns of physical beauty, resulting in dissatisfaction with their own bodies when they are unable to match up to these patterns. In the constant search for an ‘ideal body’, adolescents may begin to develop risk behaviors for the development of eating disorders (ED). The object of this study was to analyze the influence of the mass media on body dissatisfaction (BD) and on ED in adolescents, comparing genders. We also analyzed the influence of BD on the risk of developing unsuitable eating behaviors, with risk of ED, comparing genders. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 1011 adolescents: 527 girls and 484 boys. The BMI of each adolescent was determined, and the instruments EAT-26, Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3), and body shape questionnaire (BSQ), were applied. For statistical analysis, we used Student’s t-test, the chi-square test, Pearson’s correlation test, the odds ratio, and hierarchical multiple linear regression. The influence of the mass media is associated with a greater probability of adolescents presenting BD. An increase in BD is associated with an increased risk of developing ED in adolescents of both genders but is greater in girls than in boys. Furthermore, the influence of the MM and BMI are predictors of BD in both genders; and BD is a predictor of ED risk in both girls and boys.

“…As expected, RSES and CSES scores were lower in BN patients than in controls, reflecting that a frequent symptom of BN is body image dissatisfaction [37], which is linked to low self-esteem [38,39]. At the beginning of this study, we hypothesized that the RSES and CSES scores of BN patients would be associated with GMV alterations.…”

Background: Bulimia nervosa (BN) is a psychiatric disorder with unclear pathophysiology. Several studies have associated BN with structural and functional changes in the brain, but findings have been inconsistent. Here we explored this potential association in a small group of Chinese women with BN. Methods: This retrospective study examined 34 women with BN and 34 age-matched healthy controls, all of whom underwent T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Voxel-based morphometry was carried out to explore alterations in regional grey matter volume (GMV) that may be associated with BN. Results: The BN group showed smaller GMV in the left medial superior frontal gyrus (SFGmed.L), right superior temporal gyrus (STG.R), right median cingulate and paracingulate gyri (DCG.R), left median cingulate and paracingulate gyri (DCG.L) and left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus (SFGdor.L). No regions showing GMV increases in BN were identified. The GMV reduction did not correlate with body mass index, duration of illness, or patients' self-esteem or overall self-evaluation. GMV reduction correlated negatively with age in the SFGmed. L

“…Thompson et al 5 e van den Berg et al 3 destacam que identificar a influência da mídia, família e amigos na aparência corporal é importante para compreender a relevância desses contextos na internalização e comparação corporal das pessoas e, assim, conseguir intervir na insatisfação corporal. Essa intervenção poderá auxiliar na redução dos casos de transtornos de imagem e alimentação que causam prejuízos à saúde física e mental dos indivíduos 1,10,11 . No Brasil, as pessoas valorizam fortemente a aparência corporal, e isso é um dos principais fatores para a adoção de comportamentos de risco como, por exemplo, a restrição severa do consumo alimentar 12 .…”

Resumo: A Escala de Influência dos Três Fatores (TIS) é utilizada para avaliar a influência de aspectos sociais e familiares na aparência corporal dos indivíduos. Contudo, poucos indícios de validade de construto da TIS são apresentados. O objetivo do estudo foi estimar os indicadores psicométricos da TIS e identificar o grau de influência da mídia, pais e amigos na aparência corporal de universitários considerando diferentes características. Universitários de ambos os sexos participaram. Os indicadores psicométricos da TIS foram avaliados para cada sexo utilizando análise fatorial confirmatória. Os escores médios de cada fator da TIS foram calculados. As prevalências do grau de influência foram apresentadas. Um modelo de regressão múltiplo multivariado foi construído para verificar a relação de características de interesse com os escores dos fatores da TIS. Participaram 791 universitários (63,2% mulheres) de 18 a 40 anos. A TIS não apresentou bom ajustamento às amostras e foi refinada. Após refinamento, observou-se adequada validade e confiabilidade para mulheres e homens. Verificaram-se diferenças significativas entre os escores médios de mulheres e homens, e, nas prevalências, a maioria dos estudantes esteve na categoria baixa. A atividade laboral, o consumo de suplementos alimentares para alterar o corpo, a idade, o índice de massa corporal, a autoavaliação da alimentação e o nível de atividade física se relacionaram significativamente com os fatores da TIS. Em geral, as mulheres foram mais influenciadas pela mídia e pelos amigos do que os homens. As características amostrais identificadas como relacionadas aos fatores da TIS podem ser relevantes para inclusão em protocolos clínicos e de pesquisa.
