Abstract:-The evaluation of psychological factors can help preventing eating disorders in athletes. This study aimed to verify possible links between body dissatisfaction and media influence, perfectionism, mood and risk behavior for eating disorders and to compare the study variables among artistic gymnastics elite and non-elite athletes and non-athletes. Participants were 413 adolescents of both sexes (elite and non-elite athletes and non-athletes), aged 10-18 years (mean age 12.86 ± 1.80). BSQ, EAT-26, SATAQ-3, MPS … Show more
“…Finally, there were clear correlations between the three questionnaires for the entire sample as well as for men and women separately (Table 4). In this sense, body image dissatisfaction is a strong predictor of bulimia nervosa [4] and is inversely related to disordered eating behaviour [5]. In sum, body image dissatisfaction, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa are related to each other [3].…”

“…The three, anorexia, bulimia nervosa, and body image dissatisfaction interact with each other [3], and body image dissatisfaction has even been described as a strong predictor of anorexia and bulimia nervosa [4]. In particular, if body image dissatisfaction improves, disordered eating behaviour decreases [5].…”

“…In a study of 576 German athletes, 59% of the men reported dissatisfaction with their body [14], and even in contact sports like rugby, 46% of elite players have a poor perception of their body image [15]. While there are differences in body dissatisfaction between athletes and non-athletes, the differences between elite and non-elite athletes are unclear [5], and female artistic gymnasts’ body dissatisfaction can change over a single season [4]. Also, a recent study showed that lean-sport athletes had higher body shape concern scores than those of non-lean sports [16].…”
The aim of this study was to analyse body image concerns and symptoms of eating disorders in elite Icelandic athletes according to their sex, and sport practiced. The participants were 755 athletes (24.8 ± 3.5 years in age) who compete at the highest possible level in Iceland. Representing 20 different sports, they were divided into five sports groups. Three questionnaires were used: the Body Shape Questionnaire to assess body image concerns; the Bulimia Test-Revised to assess the main symptoms of bulimia; and the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire to identify disordered eating attitudes and behaviours. A chi-squared test was used to analyse differences in prevalence of body image concern and eating disorders, a t-test for the differences between men and women, and a one-way ANOVA to compare the different sports. The main findings were that 17.9% of the athletes presented severe or moderate body image dissatisfaction, and 18.2% (25.3% of the women) were above the clinical cutoff for body image concern. Women’s scores were higher than men’s (whole sample and ball games) in all variables except restraint. These results seem to point to the existence of a real problem that athlete, coaches, doctors, and institutions need to take into account.

“…Finally, BMI in patients with AN did not differ between groups. Though elite athletes tend to have lower BMI's than non-elite athletes and control groups (Nemati, Rahmani-nia, & Mohebbi, 2018;Neves, Meireles, de Carvalho, Almeida, & Ferreira, 2016), our findings may be explained by the resources available to some athletes. For example, many athletes have access to weight monitoring and meal planning with a sports dietitian, performance decrements observed by a strength and conditioning coach, and/or changes in medical stability identified by a sports medicine physician.…”
The current study tested if athlete patients differed from non-athlete patients in measures of eating disorder (ED) and related pathology. Athlete (n = 91 in Study 1; n = 39 in Study 2) and non-athlete (n = 76 in Study 1; n = 26 in Study 2) patients completed self-report measures, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Athlete patients had significantly lower ED symptomatology and depression than non-athlete patients (ps < .05). ED impairment, worry, psychosocial functioning, BMI, obsessive-compulsiveness, and compulsive exercise did not significantly differ between groups (ps > .08). Greater ED symptomatology was associated with higher psychosocial functioning among athlete patients and higher obsessive-compulsive symptoms and compulsive exercise among non-athlete patients. This is a novel study comparing ED symptomatology and related measures of mental health in athlete and non-athlete patients engaged in residential or partial hospitalization ED treatment. Future research should further investigate how participation in high-level sport impacts the presentation, treatment, and outcome of individuals with EDs.

(analítico) El estudio busca mapear las características y tendencias de la producción científica sobre el cuidado de la salud de los adolescentes en Brasil, Scoping review, realizado en 2018, basado en BVS, Cochrane, SciELO, Ebsco y Web of Science. Se incluyeron artículos originales con los siguientes participantes: adolescentes, profesionales de la salud y/o gerentes. Se revisaron 72 estudios publicados de 2006 a 2017. El análisis identificó siete categorías: salud sexual y reproductiva, factores y comportamientos de riesgo, acciones de atención y promoción, violencia, salud oral, VIH y salud mental. Concluye que persiste la concepción de la adolescencia como fase del desarrollo humano y como población en riesgo. Hay una brecha sobre temas como la violencia letal, los determinantes sociales de la salud, así como la salud mental y digital.
