“…Analysis of the source literature confirms the continual increase of the number of people suffering from eating disorders worldwide [1,2]. Epidemiological data confirm the increasing importance of the problem in European countries [3,4], including Poland [5,6], the United States of America [7], Latin America [8], Arab countries [9,10], Africa [11], and Asia [12][13][14][15][16], with the risk of development of eating disorders being especially high in Japan [17]. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study from 2015 [18] confirmed the steady increase of eating disorders in women all around the world [19].…”

The growing number of women, who are characterized by restrictive and bulimic behaviours towards their own body is observed especially in countries influenced by Westernalization. However, there is a lack of cross-cultural studies in this area. The main aim of the present study was to examine the psychological and socio-cultural risk factors for eating disorders in Polish and Japanese women. A cross-sectional research study was conducted among 18-to 29-year old Polish (n = 89) and Japanese (n = 97) women. The variables were measured using the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale SATAQ-3, and the Eating Disorders Inventory EDI-3. The descriptive and comparative statistics, Spearman's rho, and the stepwise regression analysis were used. The global internalization of socio-cultural standards of body image proved to be a significant predictor of Body Dissatisfaction among Polish and Japanese women. The main analysis showed a significant relation between the Drive for Thinness and Interoceptive Deficits in the group of Japanese women, as well as a correlation between Drive for Thinness and Asceticism in the group of Polish women. The obtained results could improve the prevention aimed the dysfunctional eating behaviours. However, the cultural nuances need to be considered in understanding the risk factors for eating disorders.

“…Eating disorders are diagnosed all over the world, despite geographical differences, climates, culinary traditions, and even societal wealth levels [ 1 , 2 ]. Epidemiological data confirm the growing significance of restrictive and bulimic eating behaviors in European countries [ 3 , 4 ], including Poland [ 5 , 6 ], North America [ 7 , 8 ], Latin America [ 9 ], Arabian countries [ 10 , 11 ], Africa [ 12 ], and Asia [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], including Vietnam [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Increasing eating disorder rates are mainly seen in women [ 20 , 21 , 22 ], although increasing rates are also reported for men [ 21 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

The aim of this paper is to identify psychological factors which are culture specific or common predictors for restrictive and bulimic behaviors towards eating for young women raised in different cultures. The study included 661 young women from Poland (n = 233) and Vietnam (n = 428). Subjects filled-in the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-3) and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire-Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS), and body measurements were collected to calculate anthropometric indices. Women form Vietnam were less satisfied with their appearance than were their Polish peers, but Vietnamese showed a lower level of preoccupation with being overweight and fear of obesity. Intercultural differences indicate that Vietnamese women show greater intensities for psychological variables, connected with restrictive and bulimic eating behaviors, verified in the research model: low self-esteem, personal alienation, interpersonal insecurity, interpersonal alienation, emotional dysregulation, interoceptive deficits, perfectionism and asceticism, and anxiety.

“…No obstante, lo anterior, también han contribuido, las modificaciones en los patrones asociados a la "belleza humana". En ese marco, la construcción social del cuerpo ideal ha cambiado; se fomenta, ahora, la cultura de la delgadez que, combinada con la alta prevalencia de obesidad, es factor de riesgo para la presencia de Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (TCA) (Fatima et al, 2019).…”

“…El norte de México colinda con Estados Unidos, en dicha región existe una relación binacional que ha permitido un mayor dinamismo económico y social; consecuentemente esta región muestra un desarrollo económico superior a la media nacional, 1 y dado que los reportes internacionales relacionan nivel socioeconómico con prevalencia de CAR (Fatima et al, 2019), es de esperarse que la mayor prevalencia del país esté en la región de mejor economía.…”

Objetivo: evaluar la presencia de Conductas Alimentarias de Riesgo (CAR) en una población del noroeste de México, así como su correlación con el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y la Satisfacción Corporal (SC). Metodología: estudio correlacional transversal con 141 estudiantes de 11 a 15 años de una escuela de educación básica secundaria del municipio de Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, México. Se evaluaron las CAR, la SC, el peso y la talla. Con el IMC calculado, los participantes fueron clasificados en Bajo peso, Peso normal y Sobrepeso, además, se les pidió que ellos se autoclasificaran en alguna de estas categorías; se tenía así, dos estados nutricionales, el calculado y el percibido. Resultados: las CAR están presentes en el 5.67% de la muestra; destaca al ejercicio como conducta compensatoria a los atracones. Solo el 65.54% de los estudiantes presentaron IMC normal, sin embargo, el 80.85% se percibieron con peso normal, sin tenerlo; no hay correlación entre el IMC y las CAR. El 12.06% de los participantes está insatisfecho con su cuerpo y existe una correlación entre la SC y las CAR. Ningún estudiante satisfecho presenta CAR. Limitaciones: el instrumento utilizado para detectar CAR no posee fines diagnósticos, sin embargo, permite realizar tamizajes para detectar si existe o no el riesgo de padecer Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (TCA). Nuestros resultados demuestran que este riesgo existe en Nuevo Casas Grandes. De todos los aspectos posibles para estudiar la percepción de la imagen corporal, solo se consideró la satisfacción corporal, sería interesante más estudios regionales que evalúen más variables. Es necesario realizar un estudio de las presentes características con una cobertura mucho mayor a la actual. Conclusiones. Las CAR están presentes en los jóvenes de Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua y no están correlacionadas con el IMC, pero sí con la SC. Esta satisfacción no se relaciona ni con la estructura corporal (IMC calculado) ni con la percepción que se tiene del mismo (IMC percibido).
