“…Curzio et al due to the fear of growing up. These data seem to confirm body distortion and dissatisfaction having a key role in the development of AN among early adolescents (Castellini et al, 2012;Riva & Gaudio, 2012;Sala et al, 2012). Moreover, a weakness in OSIQ Morals dimension among younger females could be attributed to a more general immaturity in the development of the person.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence risk for developing anorexia nervosa (AN) in a very wide sample of adolescents aged 15-19 years, obtaining a psychological profile of these at-risk subjects, as assessed by the Italian Offer Self-Image Questionnaire (OSIQ). Method: Data were extracted from ESPAD-Italia ® 2005 database (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs). The study (17,866 adolescents, 15-19 years old; 47.8% males), also evaluated gender, age, weight, height and Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26). The OSIQ psychometric qualities were evaluated. Multinomial analysis assessed self-image risk of AN association. Results: Adolescents at risk approached 1.4% (2.2% of girls and 0.5% of boys); 19-and 17-year-old females exhibited a higher prevalence. Overall adolescent risk included: impulse control, family relationships and psychopathology. Critical areas in the AN developing showed age and gender differences: body image for younger females, impulse control for the older, psychopathology for young males and sexual attitudes for the older represented the poorer adjustment dimensions. Discussion: Results support screening procedures and tailored school-based prevention.

“…Importantly, a core symptom of AN is a severe alteration of body representation (Cash and Deagle, 1997;Fairburn and Harrison, 2003;Garner et al, 2006;Sala et al, 2012;Castellini et al, 2013).…”

“…Research among individuals with AN has focused on individuals’ preferred body shape , not their desired body weight (Channon, de Silva, Hemsley, & Mukherjee, ; Sala et al, ; Smith, Joiner, Thomas, & Dodd, ). However, examining preferences related to weight, as opposed to shape, is a more exact way of measuring the body size an individual desires and may correlate more precisely with eating disorder pathology.…”

Objective Individuals with eating disorders (ED), particularly anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), often wish to reduce their body weight in pursuit of a thin ideal, but no study has examined the relation between desired weight and ED pathology in a clinical population of youth. Given the potential impact of desired weight on normalization of eating patterns and weight restoration, we examined the relation between desired weight and ED pathology in youth with AN or BN. Method Participants were 340 youth presenting to an outpatient ED clinical research program. Height and weight were measured, and youth completed the Eating Disorder Examination. Desired weight was operationalized as “desired weight percentage” (calculated as a percentage of expected body weight) and “weight difference percentage” (actual weight minus desired weight, divided by actual weight and multiplied by 100). Results Youth with AN desired to be a lower percentage of their expected body weight than youth with BN (p < .001). However, youth with AN, on average, wanted to gain 5.28% of their body weight and youth with BN wanted to lose 13.60% (p < .001). Desired weight percentage and weight difference percentage were associated with greater ED psychopathology, controlling for ED diagnosis, age, and sex (ps < .001). Discussion Desired weight is associated with elevated ED psychopathology. Weight goals may shift as individuals progress through treatment; if they do not, then desired weight may be an important indicator of a lack of psychological progress.

Body dissatisfaction is improved but the ideal silhouette is unchanged during weight recovery in anorexia nervosa female inpatients

Abstract: The high severity of the included patients and the significant attrition rate should limit our conclusions for a subgroup of patients. New approaches are needed to facilitate changes in the way patients assess their ideal body image.
