“…On the other hand, the physical changes promoted by the maturation process in boys, such as the increase in lean mass and decrease in body fat, are in agreement with the idealized body type 13 . Nonetheless, regardless of body appearance, adolescents are prone to internalize the ideal body advertised by the contemporary culture 14,15 .…”

Background: Evidence has shown that the prevalence of body dissatisfaction in youth has been increasing in recent years and it seems that adolescence is the main culprit. Objective: This study assessed body dissatisfaction in adolescents over one year. Methods: A total of 358 adolescents of both genders aged 11 to 14 years were investigated on three occasions (T1, T2, and T3). The investigation included collecting their height and weight for calculating body mass index (BMI) and administrating the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Results: The prevalences of body dissatisfaction in males and females differed significantly. Over time, dissatisfaction increased gradually in females and decreased in males (p < 0.05): females were more dissatisfied on T3 than on T1 and T2 (F = 9.71; p = 0.001) while males were more dissatisfied on T1 than in T2 and T3 (F = 12.55; p = 0.001). The scores between occasions T1, T2, and T3 also differed. Discussion: Over a period of one year, body dissatisfaction increased in females and decreased in males. Health-promoting programs for school children should be implemented during the school year.

“…The BSQ focuses on one's concern with excess weight and dislike of body fat. Males seem to be more concerned with muscles 13 . Hence, the decrease in male adolescents' concern with adiposity, and thus body dissatisfaction, seems notorious.…”

“…Several studies with college-aged men have shown that media internalization is associated with DM (Daniel & Bridges, 2010;Frederick et al, 2007;Giles & Close, 2008;Karazsia & Crowther, 2009). In addition, Cramblitt and Pritchard's (2013) study showed that media internalization mediated the relationship between hours of television exposure and DM in college-aged men Other studies have also examined the relationship between male gender role norms or the internalization of body ideals in relation to men's DT and DL.…”

Previous studies have separately examined conformity to masculine norms and internalization of body ideals in the media in relation to the drive for muscularity (DM). This study was designed to examine these factors together in relation to DM, and further examine how they may differ in relation to drive for thinness (DT) and drive for leanness (DL).Participants were 284 Australian males between ages 18 to 42. They completed validated measures that assessed DM, DT, DL, male gender role norms, and internalization of body ideals. The findings showed that internalization of body ideals mediated the relationship between masculine role norms and body image in the case of both DM and DL. However, masculine norms and internalization were independent predictors of DT. Our findings contribute to further understanding of the roles that the media and masculine norms have in shaping men's drive for muscularity, leanness, and thinness. Longitudinal research is needed to confirm the nature and direction of these relationships.

“…Outra variável que parece ter estreita relação com os comportamentos alimentares de risco para os TA é a insatisfação corporal, denominada como a depreciação ou o desgosto com o peso e a aparência física 5 . Salienta-se, no entanto, que a insatisfação corporal no sexo masculino possui dois componentes: a magreza e a muscularidade 6 . A busca pela muscularidade refere-se ao nível de preocupação e o desejo do sujeito em ser mais musculos 7 .…”

RESUMOIntrodução: Parece que a busca pela muscularidade pode ter relação com os transtornos alimentares (TA) em atletas do sexo masculino. Todavia, de acordo com nosso conhecimento, não existem estudos sobre esse tema. Objetivo: Analisar a relação da busca pela muscularidade e estado de humor com os transtornos alimentares nessa população. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 112 competidores de diversas modalidades esportivas, pertencentes a federações do sudeste brasileiro. Utilizou-se o Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Drive for Muscularity Scale (DFM) e a Escala de Humor de Brunel (BRUMS) para avaliar, respectivamente, os comportamentos alimentares de risco de TA, a busca pela muscularidade e o estado de humor. Resultados: Os achados dos modelos de regressão hierárquica não demonstraram relação da busca pela muscularidade (p > 0,05) e do estado de humor (p > 0,05) com os transtornos alimentares. Todavia, os resultados indicaram diferença de busca pela muscularidade em razão das classificações do EAT-26 (p < 0,05), fato que não foi revelado para o estado de humor (p > 0,05). Conclusão: Concluiu-se que tanto o estado de humor quanto a busca pela muscularidade não se relacionaram com os transtornos alimentares em atletas do sexo masculino.Descritores: transtornos da alimentação e da ingestão de alimentos; imagem corporal; atletas. ABSTRACT Introduction: It seems that the pursuit for muscularity may be related to eating disorders (ED) in male athletes
