“…Nonetheless, the use of strategies for weight loss was about three times more prevalent among women, suggesting that they are indeed at greater risk. In most studies with dancers, the sample includes only women [7,15,20,26] , which prevents the comparison of frequencies of risk behavior for ED between women and men, as we were able to do. However, there is a consensus based on scientifi c guides [30] and epidemiological studies [11] that the prevalence of the use of strategies for weight loss is higher among women than among men, and among younger people when compared to older people.…”

“…Classical dancers are a high-risk group for eating disorders (ED) such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa due to the great concern with physical form and the constant pressure to maintain low body weight to which they are subjected [15,26,27] . Professional dancers are required to conciliate a high level of technique and athletic performance with an aesthetic standard of beauty and lightness.…”

“…Most dancers meet these physical characteristics imposed by the profession on account of great eff ort, combining exercises and diet [16] which are often conducted inadequately. Many studies have shown that symptoms and behaviors related to ED, such as low weight [15] , body image distortion and dissatisfaction [19,32] , food intake below the recommendations [7] , and use of inadequate strategies for weight control [20] are more frequent in dancers, when compared to a control group. Although women are often more susceptible to ED, male athletes may also be at a higher risk for ED than male non-athletes [25] , especially when they are involved in This study investigated the frequency of risk behaviors for eating disorders and their association with anthropometric, demographic, and socioeconomic variables in Brazilian professional dancers.…”

This study investigated the frequency of risk behaviors for eating disorders and their association with anthropometric, demographic, and socioeconomic variables in Brazilian professional dancers. Portuguese-language versions of the Eating Attitudes Test and of the Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh (BITE) were applied to 39 female and 22 male dancers considered to be some of the best classical ballet performers in Brazil. Prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. Risk behaviors for eating disorders were observed in 31% of the dancers. Those who had a percentage of body fat above (PR=4.04; 95% CI=1.42-11.47) or below (PR=3.57; 95% CI=1.04-12.24) what is considered normal for the profession, and those who lived alone (PR=3.13; 95% CI=1.16-8.48) presented higher risk for eating disorders. In conclusion, the frequency of risk behaviors for eating disorders among the Brazilian dancers was high, which seems to be associated with the physical requirements of the profession. Those who are outside the BF% expected for dancers and those who live alone are the groups most vulnerable to developing eating disorders, and thus are the ones which are most in need of receiving special attention in regard to the intervention measures.

“…requiring greater global attention (Janout and Janoutova, 2004). Various studies report that the frequency and prevalence of eating disorders is highest among adolescent girls and young women (Kaye 2008;Moreno and Smith 2006;Şanlıer, Yabancı, and Alyakut 2008;Vialettes et al 2006).…”

This study investigated the relationship between eating behaviors (Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire-DEBQ), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale-RSES), and body mass index (BMI) in university students. A total of 503 students (129 men and 374 women), 18-23 years of age were included in the study. According to BMI, 8.3% of students were underweight; 47.3% were overweight; and 74.4% were of healthy weight. The level of self-esteem of 86.5% of young people was high, 13.5% moderate. The mean score (33.3 ± 11.8) of emotional-eating behavior was higher for women than for men (27.9 ± 10.1) . Recommendations include assessing eating behaviors via longitudinal studies with large samples, and identifying at-risk groups, as useful approaches for informing prevention.

“…Yeme tutumları bir gereksinim olmaktan çok geleneklerle biçimlenmeye başlamakta ve dengesiz yeme alışkanlığı, bilinçsiz beslenme, yemek sırasında dikkat dağılması, zamansızlığı bahane edip yemek yemenin geçiştirilmesi ve hızlı yemek yeme gibi yeni alışkanlıklara dönüşmekte ve bu durum yeme bozukluklarına sebep olmaktadır [27]. Gençlerde yaygınlığı ve sıklığı giderek artan yeme bozuklukları Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından "tıbbi dikkat" gerektiren "önemli tıbbi durum" olarak tanımlanmaktadır [14]. Yeme bozukluğu açısından yüksek riskli grupları en iyi temsil edenler lise ve üniversite öğrencileridir [20].…”

ÖzetBu çalışmada Bitlis Eren Üniversitesi'nde öğrenim gören 294 üniversite öğrencisinin yeme davranışı bozukluğuna yatkınlıklarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Öğrencilere cinsiyet, yaş, vücut ağırlığı ve boy uzunluğu bilgileri sorulup, Savaşır ve Erol (1989) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan 40 soruluk Yeme Tutum Testi (YTT-40) uygulanmıştır. YTT-40'ın değerlendirme ölçeğine göre; "≥30" puan alan kişiler "yeme davranışı bozukluğuna yatkın" şeklinde nitelendirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler IBM SPSS 20® programında, sıklık ve Pearson ki-kare testleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Kız öğrencilerin % 11.9'unun (n=21), erkek öğrencilerin %14.9'unun (n=18) YTT-40 puanı ≥30 olarak tespit edilmiştir. YTT-40 puanlarına göre; zayıf öğrencilerin %7.8'inin (n=3), normal öğrencilerin %13.6'sının (n=31) ve şişmanlık öncesi (pre-obez) öğrencilerin %15.5'inin (n=5) yeme davranışı bozukluğuna yatkın oldukları belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin yaş aralıklarına göre YTT-40 puanları değerlendirildiğinde; 17-23 yaş aralığındaki öğrencilerden %13.8'inin (n=38) ve 24-29 yaş aralığındaki öğrencilerden ise %4.3'ünün (n=1) yeme davranışı bozukluğuna yatkın oldukları görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin ortalama YTT-40 puanları 18.14±9.95 olarak bulunurken; %13.3'ünün (n=39) yeme davranışı bozukluğuna yatkın olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ancak, öğrencilerin cinsiyetleri, BKİ değerleri ve yaş aralıkları ile YTT-40 puanları arasındaki farkın anlamlı olmadığı (p>0.05) ortaya çıkmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Yeme davranışı bozukluğu, yatkınlık, yeme tutumu, YTT-40, üniversite öğrencileri. Predispositions of University Students to Eating Behavior Disorder: Sample of Bitlis Eren University AbstractIn this study, it was aimed to determine that 294 students, studying at Bitlis Eren University, have a predisposition to eating behavior disorder. Gender, age, weight and height information has been asked and applied the 40-item Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), adapted to Turkish by Savaşır and Erol (1989). According to the EAT-40 evaluation scale; who score is "≥30", he is described as "he has a predisposition to eating behavior disorder". The data were evaluated in IBM SPSS 20® program by frequency and Pearson chi-square tests. EAT-40 score was determined as ≥30 in 11.9% (n=21) of girl students and in 14.9% (n=18) of men students. According to the EAT-40 score, 7.8% (n=3) of weak students, 13.6% (n=31) of normal students and 15.5% (n=5) of before obesity (preobese) students had a predisposition to eating behavior disorder was specified. When EAT-40 score was evaluated according the age range of the students, it was seen that 13.8% (n=38) of students in the 17-23 age range and 4.3% (n=1) of students in the 24-29 age range had a predisposition to eating behavior disorder. Average EAT-40 score of the students was found as 18.14±9.95 and 13.3% (n=39) of them had a predisposition to eating disorder was determined. But an insignificant difference (p>0.05) was emerged between gender and EAT-score, BMI value and EAT-score and age range and EAT-score.
