“…En la relación severidad de la obesidad y riesgo de un TCA, encontramos, a diferencia de lo publicado en la literatura [34][35][36][37][38][39] , sólo una tendencia a ser mayor en los pacientes más obesos. Pero, lo que si se observó fue que los adolescentes con mayor severidad de su obesidad presentan puntajes más altos del test EDI-2, lo que indica una mayor sintomatología de riesgo de trastornos alimentarios.…”

“…Now when more and more people think that person is beautiful, attractive and healthy only if he/she is slender and being fat is considered abominable causing fear of becoming overweight, adolescents begin to think that normal puberty is uniform with loss of weight control -in their view teenagers with normal feminine/ masculine body shape are obese, ugly, lazy loser's incapable of self-control. Body dissatisfaction leads to negative health consequences, increased risk of obesity and usage of inappropriate methods of weight control [8].…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate attitude to body image and compare sex and body mass index differences in body perception among schoolchildren of 7-10 grades in Lithuania.Method: Data was obtained from 3248 adolescents (mean age = 14.83 (SD = 1.28), 49.5% male) who fully completed self-report questionnaires. Participants were grouped and subsequently analyzed according to their body mass index and sex. Results:Tendencies among males and females were analyzed. Overall 39.6% of the female and 11.8% of male adolescents wanted a thinner body. More females than males replied that they have tried dieting, wished to become thinner, were afraid of becoming fat or even of gaining a small amount of weight and felt not able to control their eating. However, more males answered exercising to control weight, consuming large amounts of food at once and inducing vomiting after meal. Discussion:Findings suggest the importance of addressing aspects of negative body image, associated with different BMI categories, gender differences and disordered eating behavior in clinical settings and public health policies. Perception of body image and tendencies of eating behavior among adolescentsNowadays conducted studies often show that adolescents' body image is distorted [1,2]. Teenagers, especially females, are increasingly getting more and more anxious about their constitution with their concerns culminating in weight-control behavior modifications. Throughout history and cultures changing beauty concept with people who are willing or forcifully coerced into applying measures needed to achieve 'ideal' figure, which range from self-denied body of ascetic to much more curvy body desired in the times of hardship [3] finally body image is seemingly stopped by embodiment of Barbie and Ken. It is the message that 'thin is good' and 'fat is bad' which deviates people from normalised view of eating behaviour and body image.Body image notion is defined as body shape, weight and other appearance-related attributes or as perception of information about inner self. Body image depicts accuracy of body perception and degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with it [4]. With body image able to affect social relationships and cognitive processes [5,6] and therefore to influence subsequent life it is important to find the prevalence and nature of weight-control measures and body image's perception, especially among young people.Adolescence is a critical period of life with dramatic body changes [7]. Now when more and more people think that person is beautiful, attractive and healthy only if he/she is slender and being fat is considered abominable causing fear of becoming overweight, adolescents begin to think that normal puberty is uniform with loss of weight control -in their view teenagers with normal feminine/ masculine body shape are obese, ugly, lazy loser's incapable of self-control. Body dissatisfaction leads to negative health consequences, increased risk of obesity and usage of inappropriate methods of weigh...

“…23 In the present study there was no association found between the risk of anorexia nervosa and the selected demographic variables, whereas another study revealed that the presence of overweight preoccupation and fear of fatness in adolescents is strongly associated with an increased risk of developing clinical eating disorders. 24 The study was conducted on a smaller number of samples where the results cannot be generalized, which is the limitation of the study.…”

Abstract:Background: Girls tend to be more concerned about their physical appearance than boys during adolescent period. Adolescent girls are more likely to care for losing weight with the fear of being "fat". Anorexia nervosa (AN), a form of self-starvation, is an eating disorder characterized by a distorted body image that leads to restricted eating and other behavior that prevents a person from gaining weight. It commonly occurs in teenage girls, although boys are also affected, especially in the prepubertal age group. Hence the researcher would like to assess the prevalence of anorexia nervosa among the adolescent nursing students. Objectives: 1. Determine the prevalence of anorexia nervosa among adolescent girls. 2. Find out the association between prevalence and selected demographic variables. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among 100 B.Sc Nursing 1st year students at selected nursing colleges of Mangalore. The samples were selected by convenience sampling method. After obtaining informed consent and ethical clearance the data was collected by assessing the baseline proforma and Eating Attitude Test. Findings: It was found that 31% of the adolescent girls were having high risk to anorexia nervosa and 69% were of no risk, whereas none of them were found consistent with anorexia nervosa. It was noted that all the 31 high risk girls were hostel residents. There was no association found between the risk of anorexia nervosa and the selected demographic variables. Conclusion: Some perceive anorexia as a simple case of vanity taken too far, but rather it is a complex psychological problem. So it is the responsibility of the teachers to create awareness among students by educating about the ill effects of anorexia nervosa which help us to prevent the incidence of anorexia nervosa and lead to healthy adolescents to the society.
