“…Regarding the feelings of dissatisfaction towards the weight perception, we found that the adolescents that describe themselves as about the right weight and slightly overweight are the ones referring to be trying to do something to lose weight more frequently, we could say, they might be the most unsatisfied with their bodies, result that agrees with the mentioned by other studies that point out that the adolescents with higher weight tend to be more unsatisfied and therefore to apply more dietary restrictions aiming to lose weight (Goldfield, Moore, Henderson, Buchholz, Obeid, & Flament, 2010). However, other research has also found that a high number of the adolescents that perceive themselves as normal weigh are also currently trying to lose weight, result probably explained for the existing preference for thinness as an indicator of beauty, more significantly present in the Western culture, expectation that could play an important role in the development of internalizing problems among the adolescents, when the ideal body does not match with the perceive one (Almeida, Severo, Araújo, Lopes, & Ramos, 2012).…”

The aim of the study was to determine the existing differences by gender in the indicators of internalizing problems regarding the body image perception of Mexican adolescents. A descriptive and transversal study was developed. The participants were students from four public middle schools in Guadalajara Mexico. The instrument used was an online survey constituted by a sociodemographic section, an internalizing problems indicators scale (α = .85) and a body image perception scale (α = .70). Parental consent was obtained using a waiver of active consent. The survey was applied online, during school hours at the computer labs. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the sociodemographic data and the body perception scale. Zscores were determined for the internalizing problems scale, being categorized into a three level rank. Statistical differences were estimated by gender using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The sample included 2080 adolescents with a mean age of 13.6 years (SD 1), of which 51% (1059) were female and 49% (1021) male. 18.1% of the participants that describe themselves as about the right weight, followed by 13.9% that do it as slightly overweight, indicating that they are trying to lose weight. Regarding the differences by gender, 16% of the males and 17.9% of the females have high indicators of internalizing problems. Taking into consideration the body image, the males that describe themselves as very overweight and the females that do it as very underweight are the groups with higher indicators of internalizing problems. In summary, there are important differences between males and females in the internalizing problems indicators regarding the body image.How to cite this paper: Colunga-Rodríguez, C., Orozco-Solis, M.

“…9 This association might be mediated by bullying or chronic stress; the underlying mechanism is still unclear. 34 Depressive symptoms were also associated with lifetime prevalence of smoking and alcohol intake in our sample. A study by Goodman found that smoking was strongly associated with a higher probability of developing depressive symptoms.…”

Objective: To determine the association between body image dissatisfaction (BID) and depressive symptoms in adolescents from a school in Lima, Peru. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed through a census of 875 high-school students, aged 13 to 17 years, from a school in Lima. Participants completed a survey containing the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Data regarding demographics, alcohol and tobacco use, self-esteem, and family history of depression were also obtained. To identify associated factors, Poisson regression with robust variance was used. Prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: Of the 875 adolescents, 55.8% were male. The mean age was 14.161.5 years. Depressive symptoms were observed in 19.9% of participants. An association between BID and depressive symptoms was found. Alcohol and tobacco use were also associated with the outcome of interest. Conclusions: Teens who had BID were 3.7 times more likely to report depressive symptoms. Additionally, those who used tobacco or alcohol were 1.5 and 1.4 times more likely to have depressive symptoms, respectively. Further studies targeting other populations and using longitudinal designs are recommended.

“…En la relación severidad de la obesidad y riesgo de un TCA, encontramos, a diferencia de lo publicado en la literatura [34][35][36][37][38][39] , sólo una tendencia a ser mayor en los pacientes más obesos. Pero, lo que si se observó fue que los adolescentes con mayor severidad de su obesidad presentan puntajes más altos del test EDI-2, lo que indica una mayor sintomatología de riesgo de trastornos alimentarios.…”

“…Consideramos, al igual que otros autores [39][40][41] , que es la suma de escalas alteradas lo que determina riesgo de un trastorno alimentario, y no la sola insatisfacción corporal que estaría más relacionada con la obesidad. Este estudio presenta limitaciones que deben ser consideradas.…”
