Variables antropométricas, hábitos y dietas alimentarias en adolescentes y jóvenes: diferencias en función del sexo

Abstract: ResumenEl estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las diferencias entre sexos en variables antropométricas (reales, percibidas y deseadas), en hábitos alimentarios, y en el uso de dietas alimentarias. Los participantes fueron 1.075 adolescentes y jóvenes de 14 a 25 años (49.9 % varones, 50.1 % mujeres). Con un diseño descriptivo y comparativo, se administraron tres instrumentos de evaluación. Los resultados confirman muchas diferencias significativas entre sexos. En variables antropométricas las chicas se perciben… Show more

“…In terms of the specific issues relating to BEDs, there is a behavioural pattern in the practice of weight-loss diets which is nearly twice as frequent in girls. These results coincide with other studies carried out on the same line of research [12,18,57]. For the purposes of designing help programs, it is important to take into account the reasons why there are differentiated behavioural patterns in boys and girls, since girls tend to think their weight is adequate to a lesser extent and the distorted perception of their weight is rarely associated with the need to put on weight, but weight loss; boys, on the other hand, feel the opposite way.…”

“…The capacity for directing prevention programs must be based on the identification and classification of risk profiles that depict the differentiating key factors. Thus, sex has been found as one of the most consistent variables in literature with evidence being found in different contexts [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The common factor in the conclusions of these papers is that female adolescents have a lower degree of satisfaction with their body image than that of male adolescents, with girls having an incorrect perception of their body weight (they see themselves fatter), showing greater obsession for slimness and having aspirations for BMI that are opposite to those of boys (higher in boys and lower in girls), all of which derives in a physical self-perception that is more devaluated and less attractive in girls.…”

“…Following a weight loss diet affects and limits the consumption of certain types of food, frequently removing fats, confectionery, fried food and sweetened drinks from the diet. In this sense, following a specific weight loss diet tends to involve the consumption of natural and healthy food, such as fruit and vegetables [17], although at this stage of development diets are mostly associated with an obsession with thinness or a sense of dissatisfaction with one's own body, which leads adolescents to follow such diets without medical supervision. Food restrictions or skipping meals without adequate supervision can lead to negative health consequences for young people and cause eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, etc.…”

“…Como se mencionó anteriormente, durante la adolescencia se presentan cambios psicosociales y emocionales en los que la alimentación depende más de la moda que de la salud, pues el deseo de disminuir el peso corporal, producido por la IIED, conlleva al seguimiento de CAR (Maganto, Garaigordobil y Kortabarria, 2016;Uhlmann, Donovan, Zimmer-Gembecka, Bella y Rammea, 2018). A pesar de esta asociación, son pocos los trabajos que han analizado en conjunto las CAR y la IIED en las adolescentes, como el llevado a cabo en hidalguenses que reportó 9 % de alto riesgo para CAR, del cual 84.2 % tenía IIED (Saucedo-Molina y Unikel-Santoncini, 2010a), comportamiento identificado en la muestra de estudio, ya que 15.5 % de las participantes reportó alto riesgo de CAR, de las cuales el 45.1 % registró también IIED.…”
