“…Concerning the Mozambican students, those that use medication for body change and have higher BMI showed greater body weight concerns. Silva et al [16] indicated a significant influence of students’ self-reported academic performance, frequency of medication use because of studies, SES, and BMI in body concerns of Brazilian female college students. Similar results were found in Martins et al [38], Razak et al [22], Fan et al [17], and Shunk and Birch [37].…”

“…The literature highlights that feelings of academic pressure and insecurity [14–16], use of medication because of studies, use of supplements and medication for body change [16–19], socioeconomic status (SES) [20], and body index mass (BMI) [16,21] affect body weight concerns. Further, some studies [21,22] suggest that female college students, especially younger ones, are particularly susceptible to body weight concerns.…”

BackgroundBody weight concerns are common among individuals with eating disorders, and this construct can be assessed using psychometric instruments. The Weight Concerns Scale (WCS) is commonly used to assess body weight concerns.AimsTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the WCS with Brazilian, Portuguese, and Mozambican female college students; to estimate body weight concerns; and to identify factors related to eating disorders.MethodsConfirmatory factor analysis was performed. Factorial, convergent, concurrent, and divergent validity, as well as reliability, were assessed. Cross-national invariance was tested by means of multigroup analysis. Structural models were tested using the WCS as the dependent variable, while demographic and academic variables and body mass index were used as independent variables. Logistic models were tested to estimate the likelihood of eating disorders being developed in specific groups.ResultsParticipants were 2,068 female students. The psychometric properties of the WCS were adequate for the Portuguese sample; however, for the Brazilian and Mozambican samples, it was necessary to correlate the errors of two items to improve model fit. The WCS did not show cross-national invariance. The variables “thoughts about dropping out of college,” “medication use because of studies,” “medication and supplements use for body change,” “body mass index,” “socioeconomic status,” “age,” and “performance in course” were significant predictors of body weight concerns. Overall, 24.4% (95% confidence interval = 22.9–26.7) of the students were likely to develop eating disorders. Students under 21 years old, who use medication and supplements for body change, and who were classified as overweight/obese have increased likelihood of developing eating disorders.ConclusionThe WCS showed good psychometric properties with Brazilian, Portuguese, and Mozambican students; however, it did not show cross-national invariance. We identified important aspects for investigating body weight concerns and factors related to eating disorders.

“…Confirmatory factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted with the collected data in 2013 to certify the elementary factors produced by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with the collected data in 2009 using Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Tucker Lewis Index (TLI) and RMSEA. These indices' criteria must be met for a satisfactory fit model: (1) Chi-square/df ratio should be between 1 and 5; (2) CFI and TLI must approach 1 [21] , [22] ; (3) the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) must be less than 0.1; (4) RMSEA should be up to 0.09 with 90% confidence interval values below 0.1 [22] . A multivariate linear regression was used to predict the factors associated with depression.…”

ObjectivesThe aims of this paper were to confirm the validity and reliability of a brief CES-D measure for depression and identify the associated factors with the depression among adolescents and youth in Chi Linh, Hai Duong province, Vietnam.MethodsWe used data from a prospective-longitudinal study of adolescents and youth (aged 13–17 at baseline) and their parent (N = 1402 mother/father-child dyads). Adolescents' depression was assessed in 2009 and 2013. Parents' connectedness was measured in 2013. Confirmatory factor Analysis (CFA) was used to certify the elementary factors produced by PCA using Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Tucker Lewis Index (TLI) and RMSEA. Multivariate linear regression was used to predict the factors associated with depression.ResultsThe results demonstrate that the depression items correspond as CFI (0.89), TLI (0.87) and RMSEA (0.084) are acceptable fit indices. The mean score of depression among adolescents and youth was 30.9 (Min = 16 and Max = 70; SD = 8.3). Age (β = −0.01; CI 95% = −0.1; −0.03), parent and youth can talk freely (β = −0.042; CI 95% = −0.08; −0.001) and good health status (β = −0.07; CI 95% = −0.1; −0.03) were found to be significantly associated with depression.ConclusionsDepression scale should be widely applied for screening the depression symptoms of adolescents and youth population. The necessary strategies should be implemented to improve the adolescent and young population's depression status.

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16] Este resultado pode ser justificado pelo fato de, no presente estudo, a maioria de universitários participantes serem mulheres. Pois o desejo por uma silhueta menor do que a atual tem sido relatada frequentemente na literatura e, trata-se normalmente de uma característica associada a mulheres enquanto os homens apresentam, em geral insatisfação pela magreza, desejando uma silhueta maior, representando um ideal de corpo com maior hipertrofia muscular.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: verificar a insatisfação corporal em universitários e sua associação com sexo, faixa etária, área, semestre letivo, turno de estudo, prática de atividade física e ocupação profissional. Método: estudo transversal realizado com 1265 universitários (≤ 18 e ≥ 36 anos de idade), de ambos os sexos, de uma instituição particular de ensino superior do município de Caucaia, Ceará. A percepção da imagem corporal foi estimada pela escala de silhuetas proposta por Stunkard. Foram coletadas variáveis sociodemográficas e prática de atividade física regular (sim ou não). Inicialmente, recorreu-se à análise descritiva em valores absolutas (n) e relativos (%); em seguida foi empregado o teste do Qui-quadrado, adotando-se p≤0,05. Resultados: do total, 52,3% dos universitários apresentaram insatisfação por excesso de peso. Destes, a maioria era do gênero feminino (33,0%), tinham entre 19 e 25 anos (24,0%), estavam matriculados em semestres intermediários (27,0%) e estudavam à noite (36,7%), com diferença significativa (p≤0,001). Em relação à área, um maior percentual apresentou insatisfação por excesso de peso (32,1% e 20,3%), saúde e exatas respectivamente (p≤0,005). Não foi encontrado diferença significativa da imagem corporal, com a prática de atividade física. Considerações finais: os resultados indicaram um elevado percentual de universitários insatisfeitos por excesso de peso. Espera-se que os resultados obtidos possam contribuir para a implantação de estratégias e ações em saúde voltadas a melhor aceitação do corpo.Palavras-chave: Autoimagem; Autopercepção; Universitários.
