“…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.

“…This is inconsistent to results from other studies indicating that extreme weightcontrol behavior is higher among girls than boys. 8,13,14,42 Studies have found that the perception of being overweight is one reason that adolescents decide to attempt weight loss, regardless of whether they are truly overweight. 26,27 Consistent with results from previous studies, 42,43 this study found that adolescents who perceived their body weight as too fat were more likely to follow an unhealthy diet.…”

“…9 Unhealthy dieting can also decrease intake of energy and essential nutrients and may be associated with a variety of symptoms including fatigue, anxiety, and constipation and irregular menstrual cycles among girls. 4 The high prevalence of abnormal eating patterns and unhealthy weight-control behaviors in adolescents has become a major public health concern 8,[10][11][12][13] worldwide. These practices have been shown to be related to sociodemographic and personal characteristics of adolescents.…”

“…Yeme bozukluğu, obeziteye neden olan aşırı yemek yeme, yemek yemeyi reddetme, bireyin vejetaryen olması veya bazı psikolojik nedenlerden ötürü yemek yemeyi kısıt-laması, yemek olmayan maddelerin yenilmesi, yenen yemeğin hemen sindirilerek atılması veya karşı konulamaz gece yemek yeme davranışlarının sergilenmesidir (2).

Üniversite öğrencilerinin yeme tutumu, öz-etkililik ve etkileyen faktörler Amaç: Bu araştırma üniversite öğrencilerinde yeme tutumu, öz-etkililik ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı araştırma 525 üniversite öğrencisi ile yürütüldü. Veriler tanıtıcı form, yeme tutumu testi (YTT-40) ve öz-etkililik-yeterlik ölçeği ile toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ki-kare analizi, Mann-Whitney U testi, Spearman korelasyon analizi ve lojistik regresyon analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin YTT-40 puan ortalaması 17.91±11.10'idi. Kız öğrencilerin YTT puan ortalaması (18.67±11.30) erkek öğrencilerden (16.79±10.73) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksekti (z=-2.39, p=0.01). YTT puanı 30'un üstünde olan öğrenci oranı 18-19 yaş grubunda %7.1, 20-21 yaş grubunda %10.9, 22-24 yaş grubunda ise %17.6 olarak bulundu (x²=7.732; p<0.05). Yeme bozukluğu riski, aşırı kilolu / obez olan öğrencilerde normal kilolu olanlara göre 2 kat daha fazla, zayıf olanlarda ise normal kilolu öğrencilere göre 2.9 kat daha düşük bulundu. YTT puanı 30, 30'un üstünde ve altında olanların öz-etkililik puan ortalamaları arasında fark bulunmadı. Sonuç: Aşırı kilolu / obez olanlar, vücut ağırlığından memnun olmayanlar, diyet yapanlar ve stres durumunda beslenmesinin etkileneceğini belirten öğrenciler yeme bozuklukları açısından riskli bulundu. Anahtar sözcükler: Yeme bozuklukları, öz-etkililik, yeme tutumu, YTT-40, üniversite öğrencileri ABS TRACTThe eating attitudes of the university students, self-efficacy and affecting factors Objective: This research was performed to figure out eating attitudes of students, self-efficacy and factors that influence it. Method: This descriptive research was conducted with 525 university students. The data were collected with an identifier form, eating attitude test (EAT-40) and self-efficacy scale. In order to evaluate data, descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The mean score of the EAT-40 was 17.91±11.10. There was a statistically significant difference (z=-2.39, p=0.01) between the mean EAT-40 score of female students (18.67±11.30) and male students (16.79±10.73). The rate of students with EAT-40 score over 30 were found as 7.1% in the 18-19 age group, 10.9% in the 20-21 age group and 17.6% in the 22-24 age group (x²=7.732; p<0.05). The eating disorder risk of the over weight and obese students was two times more than the students with normal weight, while the eating disorder risk of the weak students was 2.9 times lower than the students with normal weight. There was no difference between the mean self-efficacy score of the ones whose EAT-40 score was over 30 and under 30. Conclusions: The students being overweight and obese, being not happy about their weights, being on a diet and stating that their nutrition would be affected in case of stress were found at risk in terms of the eating disorder.
