“…Studies with the same instruments used in the present research have found similar prevalence rates among adolescents (Ferreira and Veiga, 2008) and also in adult population (Ferreira et al, 2013). A population-based study with Australians aged 15 to 94 found prevalence of 1.6% for restrictive or fasting diets, 3.2% for binge eating and 0.8% for purging (Hay, 1998).…”

Background: University students may be a vulnerable group to adopt unhealthy behaviors, including changes in eating behavior. Assessment of factors associated with the prevalence of disordered eating behaviors in this population may facilitate the early identification of their predictors, thus allowing fast interventions. Aim: To analyze the prevalence of disordered eating behaviors (DEB) and associated factors in Brazilian university students. Methods: Cross-sectional study of male and female students aged 16–25 years, enrolled in full-time degree program at a public university in the mid-west of Brazil. Disordered eating behaviors in the last three months (binge eating, purging, and food restriction), through an adapted version of the instrument developed by Hay, was evaluated and the association with demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, including lifestyle, body image, perceived stress, depressive symptoms, and excess weight, was analyzed. A hierarchical analysis model was performed to determine the relative importance of factors on the prevalence of DEB. Results: A total of 1608 university students were evaluated (50.7% male). Prevalence of DEB was 4.4% for binge eating, 2.5% for purging and 9.1% for food restriction, all of which were higher among women (7.0%, 4.4%, and 13.5%) compared with men (1.8%, 0,6%, and 4.9%, respectively). The factors that remained significantly associated with these behaviors were female sex, smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages, dissatisfaction with body image, excess weight, high perceived stress, and presence of self-reported depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Factors associated with DEB signal that intervention is required to create synergy between individual and population-level interventions in lifestyle behaviors.

“…This does not appear to be the case. Although sex differences in binge eating are less pronounced than in BE-S, significant female:male ratios range from ∼2:1 to 4:1 in population-based samples (Ferreira et al 2013;Field et al 1997Field et al , 1999Goldschmidt et al 2015, Haines et al 2006, 2010Hay 1998;McBride et al 2013;Rand & Kuldau 1990;Reichborn-Kjennerud et al 2003;Sonneville et al 2013;Striegel et al 2012;Striegel-Moore et al 2009) and school-based samples (Bentley et al 2015, Croll et al 2002, Mond et al 2014, Muise et al 2003, Nakai et al 2015, Neumark-Sztainer et al 2011, Ross & Ivis 1999. The studies that did not find significant sex differences (e.g., Mond & Hay 2007) often used limited assessments (e.g., one-item interviews, assessments not requiring loss of control) (Abebe et al 2012, Forrester-Knauss & Stutz 2012, Grucza et al 2007, Hudson et al 2007, Reagan 2005.…”

Eating disorders are highly sexually differentiated disorders that exhibit a female predominance in risk. Most theories focus on psychosocial explanations to the exclusion of biological/genetic influences. The purpose of this descriptive review is to evaluate evidence from animal and human studies in support of gonadal hormone effects on sex differences in binge eating. Although research is in its nascent stages, findings suggest that increased prenatal testosterone exposure in males appears to protect against binge eating. Although pubertal testosterone may exert additional protective effects, the prenatal period is likely critical for the decreased risk observed in males. By contrast, studies indicate that, in females, it is the lack of prenatal testosterone coupled with the organizational effects of pubertal ovarian hormones that may lead to increased binge eating. Finally, twin data suggest that changes in genetic risk may underlie these hormone influences on sex differences across development.

“…Salles-Costa et al 16 , em estudo realizado em 2005, no distrito de Campos Elíseos, Duque de Caxias-RJ, notaram que a insegurança alimentar estava presente em 53,8% dos domicílios em diferentes graus (31,4% com insegurança alimentar leve, 16,1% insegurança alimentar moderada e 6,3% insegurança alimentar grave). Por outro lado, Ferreira et al 17 divulgaram que 16,8% dos adolescentes que residiam em domicílios com insegurança alimentar apresentavam sobrepeso e 7,2% estavam obesos. Com a realização de nova pesquisa em Campos Elíseos, em 2010, no qual se reavaliou os aspectos abordados na pesquisa de 2005 16 , questionou-se como teria evoluído a prevalência de excesso de peso em adolescentes no período entre os dois estudos.…”

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as mudanças na prevalência do excesso de peso em adolescentes e sua associação com variáveis sociodemográficas e insegurança alimentar em período de 5 anos. Foram realizados dois estudos transversais com 511 (2005) e 314 (2010) adolescentes de 12 a 18,9 anos residentes de Campos Elíseos (Duque de Caxias-RJ). Excesso de peso foi avaliado por meio do IMC (peso/estatura²). A insegurança alimentar foi investigada por meio da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA). Utilizou-se regressão logística para verificar a associação entre as mudanças temporais de excesso de peso segundo sexo, idade, cor da pele, e insegurança alimentar. Quanto à evolução do excesso de peso pode se notar que nos meninos houve aumento significativo para os mais novos (20,1% para 49,5%), os de cor preta ou parda (22,2% para 37,3%), os que tinham renda per capita de até ½ salário mínimo (13,6% para 32,5%) e os que apresentavam insegurança alimentar moderada e grave (9,2% para 36,3%) entre 2005 e 2010. Conclui-se que o aumento do excesso de peso foi expressivo nos adolescentes residentes em área de insegurança alimentar, e os meninos mais novos, pretos ou pardos, de menor renda e residentes em lares com insegurança alimentar moderada e grave estão mais expostos a este aumento.
