“…For example, all females with traits of muscle dysmorphia in our sample were on diet, while the corresponding males reported to be on ergogenic supplement use. Accordingly, individuals with muscle dysmorphia are described to abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids and supplements, such as protein, amino acids and vitamins [ 17 , 37 ]. It is possible that females at risk of muscle dysmorphia show some psychological traits similar to those of females at risk for EDs, while males at risk are characterized by obsessive-compulsive traits [ 34 ].…”

University courses, eating problems and muscle dysmorphia: are there any associations?

BackgroundOrthorexia and muscle dysmorphia are disorders affecting above all young adults whose prevalence and social impact are still unclear. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the traits of orthorexia and muscle dysmorphia among freshmen attending university courses focused on nutrition (Dietetics) and body care (Exercise and Sport Sciences). Students of Biology were considered as a control group. The prevalence of eating disorder (ED) traits were also evaluated.MethodsAll participants (n = 440; n = 53 Dietetics school, n = 200 Exercise and Sport Sciences school, n = 187 the Biology school) completed the following questionnaires: ORTO-15, Muscle-Dysmorphic-Disorder-Inventory, and Eating Attitudes Test-26.ResultsThe prevalence of the traits of EDs, orthorexia, and muscle dysmorphia was 9.1%, 25.9%, and 5.9%, respectively. When compared to other students, those attending the Dietetics school showed a 2-fold higher risk of EDs and those from the Exercise and Sport Sciences school a 10-fold higher risk of muscle dysmorphia. The prevalence of orthorexia traits was high in all schools (35.9%, 22.5%, 26.5% in Dietetics, Biology, and Exercise and Sport Sciences schools, respectively). Overall, individuals with traits of any of these disorders were more frequently on diet or on supplement use. In a logistic regression model, attending the Dietetics school (OR = 2.71; 95% CI 1.14-6.48) was significantly associated with the ED traits, but not with the orthorexia traits (OR = 1.75; 95% CI 0.93-3.29), while attending the Exercise and Sport Sciences school was significantly associated with the muscle dysmorphia traits (OR = 5.15; 95% CI 1.44-18.4). Finally, when evaluating the relationships among the types of study programs as dependent variables and traits of these disturbances, the associations between the traits of ED (OR = 3.35; 95% CI 1.38-8.13) and matriculation at the school of Dietetics, and between the traits of muscle dysmorphia (OR = 4.32; 95% CI 1.16-16.1) and the choice of the Exercise and Sport Sciences school were confirmed.ConclusionsThe choice of the university courses might be influenced by pre-existing disorders in eating behaviors, which were relatively frequent in the considered sample.

“…En las sociedades postindustriales se ha impuesto un modelo de extrema delgadez en las mujeres y de gran definición muscular en los hombres 21,22 ; sumado a lo anterior, en occidente la delgadez se asocia con autocontrol, elegancia, juventud, atractivo 23 . El deseo de alcanzar estos modelos puede provocar un alto grado de insatisfacción en la propia imagen corporal y, junto a otros factores, desencadenar trastornos de la conducta alimentaria; al parecer son los sujetos con normopeso quienes presentan una mayor insatisfacción, quizás por estar más cercanos a los modelos ideales de belleza actuales.…”

Introducción: Habitualmente se estima la concordancia entre IMC e imagen corporal pero se desconoce la concordancia utilizando otra metodología. El objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar la autopercepción de la imagen corporal utilizando el IMC y porcentaje de grasa corporal en estudiantes de la Universidad Autónoma de Chile. Material y Métodos:Estudio descriptivo, a 1.105 estudiantes de ambos sexos se les aplicó el test de la Conducta Alimentaria EDI-2, antropometría (IMC y pliegues cutáneos) y una evaluación de la percepción de imagen corporal a través de modelos anatómicos.Resultados: En hombres hubo una mejor concordancia entre grasa corporal y autopercepción (κ=0,21), que entre IMC y autopercepción (κ=0,07), en mujeres los resultados fueron similares en ambas evaluaciones (κ=0,1). Al ver la concordancia entre las 2 metodologías, en ambos sexos la concordancia entre IMC y porcentaje de grasa fue similar (κ=0,1). Conclusiones:Los estudiantes en general presentan una inadecuada autopercepción de la imagen corporal. Finalmente, hay muy baja concordancia diagnóstica entre ambas evaluaciones.

“…The drive for muscularity (DM) is the perception of being underdeveloped together with the intense pursuit of increased muscle mass [ 7 , 8 ]. Negative outcomes of DM include: (a) eating disorders [ 9 , 10 ] and more specifically muscle dysmorphia, also called "reverse anorexia" [ 11 ]; (b) the use of dietary supplements [ 12 , 13 ] and/or doping [ 14 , 15 ]; (c) exercise dependence with inadequate recovery [ 16 ]; (d) the decline in social relationships to focus exclusively on strength training [ 17 ]; and (e) the risk of depression [ 18 ].…”

Adaptation and validation of a short French version of the Drive for Muscularity Scale in male athletes (DMS-FR)

et al. 2018

The purpose of this paper was to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of a French-language Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS). First, a preliminary version of the scale, based on both the English-language version of the DMS and the literature on the drive for muscularity, was developed following a committee validation process. Second, the factor structure of the DMS-FR was investigated with principal component analysis (PCA) in a sample of 114 male athletes (Mage = 23.35; SDage = 4.93), leading to a nine-item scale (Study 1). Third, in Study 2, the internal factor structure, temporal stability, and concurrent validity were examined through a series of structural hypothetical modelisation in a sample of 129 male athletes (Mage = 27.03; SDage = 7.81). The results indicated that the scale has good psychometric properties. Specifically, the PCA, and the series of structural hypothetical modelisation, suggested two theoretical factors (i.e., Muscularity Body Dissatisfaction and Muscularity Behaviors), and more, with a bi-factor model in a SEM. The results also indicated sufficient concurrent validity with the Male Body Dissatisfaction Scale (MBDS) and adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas were .87 for the Muscularity Body Dissatisfaction subscale, and .88 for the Muscularity Behaviors subscale). The findings overall suggest good reliability and construct validity for this French version of the DMS (DMS-FR), which will be useful for future research and clinical practice in French-speaking countries.
