“…However, at T2 (six months later), significantly more female than male subjects reported that they had lost control over how much they ate (symptom for bine-eating disorder). In agreement, the prevalence of binge-eating disorder was also reported to be high among Israeli adolescent girls (Kaluski, Natamba, Goldsmith, Shimony, & Berry, 2008). Chia et al (2002) reported that binge eating disorder was highly prevalent among Singaporean adults, more prevalent that AN or BN and deserves greater research attention in terms of its aetiology and treatment.…”

Abstract. Purpose:The research examined the relationship between body weight satisfaction and disordered eating among youth who are active in sport in Singapore. Method: 137 youths (82 boys and 55 girls; age 12-13) enrolled in school sport completed two self-report questionnaires-SCOFF for disordered eating and body weight satisfaction-on two separate occasions that were six months apart (T1 vs. T2). Results: Body mass index for age classifications revealed that 5.1% were severely underweight; 1.5% underweight; 88.3% acceptable weight; 4.4% overweight and 0.7% were severely overweight. Conclusions: (i) the prevalence of disordered eating was 46% at baseline measurement and this remained stable at 45.3% six months later; (ii) there was no sex difference for disordered eating on the two measurement occasions (T1 vs. T2, p>0.05); (iii) the prevalence of youths unsure of their bodyweight satisfaction was 26.6-21.2% which compared to 88.3% adjudged to be of healthy weight; across T1 and T2, more male subjects wanted to gain bodyweight while more female subjects wanted to lose bodyweight; and (iv) subjects who were dissatisfied with their bodyweight had significantly greater odds of being at risk for developing DE. Holistic education programmes based upon body image and nutrition, are recommended.

“…These prevalence rates are within the range found in previous research. Specifically, reported prevalence rates for girls vary from 30 % among Israeli girls ( M age = 14.7; [23]) to 52 % among Finnish girls ( M age = 14.9; [18]) as well as 56 % of girls in a large sample (over 40,000) of 9th and 12th grade American female adolescents (Croll et al, 2002). The prevalence rates of DE for boys have been found to vary as well, at 15 % as reported by Herpertz-Dahlmann et al [20] in a German sample of 1,895 11- to 17-year-old adolescents; 17 % as reported by Hautala et al [18] in a Finnish sample of adolescent boys aged 15; 25 % as reported by Lavender et al [26] in a study of male undergraduates; and 29 % as reported by Croll et al (2002) among American adolescents.…”

Typical patterns of disordered eating among Swedish adolescents: associations with emotion dysregulation, depression, and self-esteem

BackgroundUsing the person-oriented approach, we determined the relationships between four indicators (restraint and eating, shape, and weight concerns) of disordered eating (DE), as measured by the self-reported Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), to identify typical DE patterns. We then related these patterns to clinical EDE-Q cut-off scores and emotion dysregulation, depression, self-esteem, and two categories of DE behaviors (≥2 or ≤1 “yes” responses on the SCOFF questionnaire).MethodTypical patterns of DE were identified in a community sample of 1,265 Swedish adolescents (M age = 16.19, SD = 1.21; age range 13.5–19 years) using a cluster analysis. Separate analyses were performed for girls (n = 689) and boys (n = 576).ResultsThe cluster analysis yielded a six-cluster solution for each gender. Four of the six clusters for girls and five for boys showed scores above the clinical cut-off on at least one of the four DE indicators. For girls, the two clusters that scored above the clinical cut-offs on all four DE indicators reported severe psychological problems, including high scores on emotion dysregulation and depression and low scores on self-esteem. In contrast, for boys, although two clusters reported above the clinical cut-off on all four indicators, only the cluster with exceedingly high scores on shape and weight concerns reported high emotion dysregulation and depression, and extremely low self-esteem. Furthermore, significantly more girls and boys in the most problematic DE clusters reported ≥2 “yes” responses on the SCOFF questionnaire (as opposed to ≤1 response), indicating clear signs of DE and severe psychological difficulties.ConclusionWe suspect that the various problematic DE patterns will require different paths back to a healthy diet. However, more research is needed to determine the developmental trajectories of these DE patterns and ensure more precise clinical cut-off scores, especially for boys. Comprehensive understanding of DE patterns might be of use to healthcare professionals for detecting DE before it develops into an eating disorder.Trial registrationLund, EPN (dnr: 2012/499).

“…Os principais termos usados para caracterizar a presença de comportamentos de risco para TA foram "risco de transtornos alimentares" 13,[27][28][29][30]34,38,52,60,67,[77][78][79]81,82,88 e "comer transtornado" 35,39,41,[43][44][45][46]48,63,65,68,73,84,86 . Mesmo assim, mais de 60% dos estudos utilizaram outras diversas nomenclaturas e, no contexto do Brasil, observa-se que também não há padronização dos termos.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Caracterizar comportamento de risco para transtornos alimentares (TA) e sua frequência entre adolescentes em uma revisão da literatura nacional e internacional. Méto-dos: Foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica por meio de uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados PubMed (US National Library of Medicine) e Lilacs e no portal SciELO, utilizando-se os descritores relacionados à "eating disorder risk behavior". Foram selecionados artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, nos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês, e especificamente com adolescentes. Foram avaliados 76 artigos e analisados a nomenclatura e os instrumentos utilizados para avaliar comportamento de risco para TA e sua prevalência. Resultados: Encontrou-se uma série de termos para avaliar risco para TA. A metodologia mais utilizada foi a de questionários e escalas, destacando-se o EAT-26 ou 40 e o BITE, dentre os mais frequentes; a prevalência de risco variou de 0,24% a 58,4%. Conclusão: Diferentes nomenclaturas e instrumentos são utilizados para avaliar comportamento de risco para TA entre adolescentes, com grande amplitude nos resultados de prevalência. Maior padronização de termos e metodologia de avaliação permitiriam melhor comparação entre estudos epidemiológicos em diferentes localidades. ABSTRACTObjective: To characterize eating disorder (ED) risk behavior and its prevalence among adolescents in a review of national and international literature. Methods: We carried out an integrative review on PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine), Lilacs and SciELO, using descriptors related to "eating disorder risk behavior". Articles published in the last 10 years, in Portuguese, Spanish and English, and specifically with adolescents were selected. The nomenclature and instruments used to assess eating disorder risk behaviors and its frequency were evaluated and analyzed in 76 articles. Results: Several terms to assess ED risk behavior were found; questionnaires and scales were used, mainly EAT-26 or 40 and BITE. The prevalence of risk ranged from 0.24% to 58.4%. Conclusion: Different names and instruments are used to assess ED risk behavior among adolescents, and there is a wide variation in the prevalence. Standardization of terms and evaluation methodology might enhance a better comparison of epidemiological studies in different locations.
