“…This study shows that girls of mean age of 13 years have more symptoms of ED than boys of the same age, as documented in previous literature in different age groups (Gutiérrez et al, 2015; Micali et al, 2017; Pisetsky, Chao, Dierker, May, & Striegel‐Moore, 2008).…”

Objective This study's main purpose is to evaluate factors associated with eating disorder (ED) symptoms among Brazilian adolescents. Method The sample consisted of 5,213 students, mean age 13.24 (SD ±0.01), in the eighth grade of 93 public schools from three Brazilian cities. Data were collected through an anonymous self‐report questionnaire, assessing: sociodemographics, use of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, binge drinking, bullying, and ED symptoms. We used confirmatory factor analysis and multivariate linear regression. Results We found that high levels of bullying victimization, binge drinking and the use of unprescribed weight‐loss substances were associated with higher levels of ED symptoms to both genders. However, only among girls, the higher age (β = .10; 95% CI = 0.02; 0.17) and the use of illicit drugs (β = .21; 95% CI = 0.094; 0.34) were associated with increase in the ED symptoms. Discussion We demonstrate a significant association of ED symptoms with drug use and bullying, highlighting the importance of addressing these factors in the development of ED prevention strategies.

“…Similar findings were observed by Francisco et al (2015) who showed a significant positive correlation between EDI‐P and EAT‐26. Gutiérrez et al (2015) confirmed this association after assessing the simultaneous influence of perfectionism and other personality risk factors (i.e., impulsiveness) on EAT‐26 overall score.…”

The clinical significance of two major aspects of perfectionism, perfectionistic strivings (PS) and perfectionistic concerns (PC), in eating disorders (EDs) symptoms was well‐established among adults. However, no systematic review has assessed evidence examining associations between both unidimensional and multidimensional perfectionism and EDs in early and middle adolescence. For this aim, three online databases (PsycINFO, Medline and PsycArticle) were searched for articles published until January 2019, and observational studies were considered. Study quality was systematically appraised, and results were summarized using a narrative synthesis approach. Fifty‐one cross‐sectional and 28 longitudinal studies were included. Most studies supported the relationship between perfectionism and EDs, with the majority adopting a unidimensional approach for assessing perfectionism. Among studies that employed multidimensional measures of perfectionism, the majority (n = 11) of evidence supported the relationship between eating symptoms and PC, while fewer (n = 5) studies provided significant unique associations with PS. These findings are consistent with the body of research suggesting the strength of the relationship between PC and EDs was greater than between PS and EDs. It was recommended that preventive interventions should be primarily focused on reducing self‐critical perfectionism, since it resulted to be the most relevant perfectionistic dimension in the development of eating symptoms in adolescents.

“…Such results are not replicable in girls from our findings. It is not sure if the function of physical activity was compromised by other health behavioral problems, such as eating disturbance in girls, resulting in a net increase in BMI and poorer body esteem [13]. Different results are reported in Western countries.…”
