“…O aumento do sofrimento psíquico em estudantes universitários, assim como o desenvolvimento de transtornos mentais e casos de suicídio, representam um grande desafio para as políticas internas das instituições e suas ações preventivas e terapêuticas 1 . Os transtornos alimentares (TA) também fazem parte dessa discussão, considerando que essa população apresenta risco elevado para o desenvolvimento do quadro psiquiátrico 2,3 , mas também desfechos de saúde negativos, como o comprometimento do rendimento escolar, isolamento social e agravo em parâmetros clínicos que alguns comportamentos de risco para TA podem trazer 4 . Sabe-se que a exposição da mídia, a pressão para atingir um corpo magro e a internalização de um ideal de corpo são preditores do aumento de comportamentos de risco para TA em mulheres 5 e que eles podem ocorrer como forma de lidar com emoções negativas, cobranças e insatisfação corporal.…”

The period of university life can be considered an especially sensitive and stressful stage, due to the numerous changes and challenges that young adults must face (Trindade, Appolinario, Mattos, Treasure, & Nazar, 2019), as the need to adapt to the new social roles, the loss of family or social support when changing homes, living with people of different sociocultural origins, financial difficulties, and the need to organize work and study schedules, among others. All those stressful life events can affect the mental health of students and lead to different problems, such as ED (Loth, van den Berg, Eisenberg, & Neumark-Sztainer, 2008).…”
