“…Para estimar la percepción de la imagen corporal se utilizó la Escala Graduada de Hannover, desarrollada para medir la insatisfacción corporal en muestras transculturales, por lo que sus diseños intentan ser lo más libres de signos culturales o detalles físicos que puedan ser interferentes. La satisfacción corporal se evalúa a través de la comparación entre la silueta escogida como la más representativa del individuo y aquella que desearía tener 37 . Para evaluar las conductas alimentarias se utilizaron el Inventario de Desór-denes Alimentarios (EDI) 38 y el Test de Actitudes Alimentarias (EAT-40) 39 (Tabla 1).…”

year was made. Eating behaviors were evaluated using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40) and the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI). The perception of body image was assessed using the Graduate Hannover Scale (GHS). Results: Prevalence of muscle dysmorphia among weightlifters was 13.6%. Both groups did not differ in body dissatisfaction. Interest in appearance among weightlifters was significantly higher than in students and ranged significantly higher in (Rev Med Chile 2010; 138: 1386-1394.

“…However, we might draw from ecological data showing that the prevalence of body dissatisfaction and cultural pressures for women's thinness coincide in a graded manner with westernisation (and wealth) on a global scale, with women living in more westernised countries having greater body dissatisfaction than those living in non-westernised countries, with countries in transition intermediate between the two (Jaeger et al, 2002). Although ecological patterns of development over time must not be equated with associations during an individual's life history, we might suspect that intergenerational shifts in personal socio-economic position will show some association with body image at midlife.…”

Women's body dissatisfaction, social class, and social mobility

Several studies indicate that socially advantaged women are more dissatisfied with their bodies than socially disadvantaged women. These findings have been based on women's current social class, and no attention has been paid to the social class of her family of origin or to intergenerational social mobility. In the present research 912 54-year-old women from a prospective birth cohort study provided self-report data on current body esteem (appearance and weight dimensions). Childhood and adult social class (manual versus non-manual) were defined based on father's occupation and own or partner's occupation, respectively. This information and the highest educational qualifications recorded by age 26 were gathered prospectively. Indicators of current and adolescent body mass index (BMI) were computed from height and weight values collected at ages 15 (or 11) and 53-54 years. Multiple regression was used to examine the relationship between midlife body esteem and childhood social class, adult social class, educational qualifications, and social mobility, unadjusted and adjusted for BMI. Women from the non-manual classes as adults were more dissatisfied with their weight than women from the manual classes as adults, for a given BMI. Adjusting for BMI, downwardly mobile women were more satisfied with their appearance than stable non-manual women. Adjusting for BMI, higher educational qualifications were associated with more dissatisfaction with weight and with appearance, and education appears to be more important than occupationally defined social class in explaining body dissatisfaction. A clearer understanding of the relationship between socio-economic position and body dissatisfaction demands that the following distinctions are made: weight versus appearance satisfaction, education versus occupation, and current social class versus intergenerational social mobility. r

“…A large body of literature has examined the associations between family functioning, child rearing practices, and the development and course of eating disorders [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Many of these studies have described a ‘disordered’ family system, characterized by an emphasis on dieting and physical appearance, conflict avoidance, motherly overprotection, absence of the father, and presentation of an intact family to outsiders [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18].…”

Background: The risk factors for adolescent eating disorders are poorly understood. It is generally agreed, however, that interactions with one’s body and interactions with others are two important features in the development of anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Therefore, we assessed a variety of childhood body-focused behaviors and childhood social behaviors in eating-disordered patients as compared to non-eating-disordered subjects. Method: We compared 50 female inpatients with eating disorders (anorexia or bulimia nervosa), 50 female inpatients with polysubstance dependence, and 50 nonpatient female control subjects with no history of eating or substance abuse disorders (all defined by DSM-IV criteria), using a semi-structured interview of our own design. We asked questions about (1) childhood body-focused behaviors (e.g. thumb-sucking) and body-focused family experiences (e.g. bodily caresses), and (2) childhood social behaviors (e.g. numbers of close friends) and family social styles (e.g. authoritarian upbringing). Results: Many body-focused measures, such as feeding problems, auto-aggressive behavior, lack of maternal caresses, and family taboos regarding nudity and sexuality, characterized eating-disordered patients as opposed to both comparison groups, as did several social behaviors, such as adjustment problems at school and lack of close friends. However, nail-biting, insecure parental bonding, and childhood physical and sexual abuse were equally elevated in both psychiatric groups. Conclusion: It appears that eating-disordered patients, as compared to substance-dependent patients and healthy controls, show a distinct pattern of body-focused and social behaviors during childhood, characterized by self-harm, a rigid and ‘body-denying’ family climate, and lack of intimacy.
