“…The data obtained in this study, as well in other previous ones [ 10 , 23 , 24 , 70 , 71 , 72 ] reinforce the hypothesis that the female gender, at an age within the limits of early adolescence, the first year of the degree courses, certain university qualifications and a high BMI constituted factors that can influence the appearance or the continuance of risk-related patterns of eating, which could provoke one among various sorts of ED. In consequence, these results determine the need to implement measures that are specifically adapted to university students that stimulate heathy eating habits, improving the perception of their body image and reducing obsessive concerns over thinness.…”

Background: The passage through university is a complex experience that can heighten personal susceptibility to eating disorders. The objective of this research is to determine how gender, age, course, educational faculty, and body mass index (BMI) can influence the risk of eating disorders among university students. Method: A transversal and descriptive study is conducted with a sample of 516 Spanish students (57.2% female, 42.8% male; Mage = 21.7, SDage = 4.1) following 26 university degrees. The Inventory Eating Disorder-Reference criterion (EDI-3-RF) was administered to the students. Contingency tables were used between categorical variables with the chi-squared statistic, at a significance level of p < 0.05. The Student t-test was used for two independent samples and a one-way ANOVA test with the post hoc Bonferroni test for more than two groups. Pearson’s correlation and a simple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the variables in its quantitative version. Results: It was found that the female students enrolled in the second year presented a greater obsession with thinness and body dissatisfaction (p = 0.029; d = 0.338); the male students practiced more physical exercise to control their weight (p = 0.003); and that students under the age of twenty (p < 0.010; d = 0.584) and students from both the Health (p = 0.0.13) and Law (p = 0.021) educational faculties showed greater bulimic behavior (d = 0.070). More females are underweight (z = 2.8), and more men are overweight (z = 2.4). Normal-weight students scored significantly higher in thinness obsession (p = 0.033). Overweight students scored significantly higher on thinness obsession (p < 0.001) and body dissatisfaction (p < 0.001). Obese students scored significantly higher on body dissatisfaction (p = 0.04). Conclusions: The data obtained in this study, reinforce the hypothesis that the female gender, at an age within the limits of early adolescence, in the first year of the degree courses, with specific university qualifications, and a high BMI constituted factors that could provoke an eating disorder. Consequently, it is necessary to implement preventive measures adapted to the circumstances of each university student.

“…Using the EAT-26 test, we were able to determine that, more precisely, the probability of developing AN in our group increased from 3.9% at the start of the study to 8.5% at the end of the academic year. In this specific case, the risk percentages are less than the median prevalence determined by Alhaj et al [5] (17.0%) and other Spanish universities [9] (12.8%), with the EAT-26 test being used to measure these percentages.…”

“…In a study of 1306 university students who completed the SCOFF questionnaire, Martínez-González et al [4] identified 21.2% of females and 15% of males as at risk of having ED. In a study of 422 university students, Castelao-Naval et al [9] showed that 12.8% were at risk of developing AN (evaluated by the EAT-26 questionnaire) and 4.7% of BN (measured by the BITE questionnaire).…”

The purpose of the study is to assess the risk of developing general eating disorders (ED), anorexia nervosa (AN), and bulimia nervosa (BN), as well as to examine the effects of gender, academic year, place of residence, faculty, and diet quality on that risk. Over two academic years, 129 first- and fourth-year Uneatlántico students were included in an observational descriptive study. The self-administered tests SCOFF, EAT-26, and BITE were used to determine the participants’ risk of developing ED. The degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) was used to evaluate the quality of the diet. Data were collected at the beginning (T1) and at the end (T2) of the academic year. The main results were that at T1, 34.9% of participants were at risk of developing general ED, AN 3.9%, and BN 16.3%. At T2, these percentages were 37.2%, 14.7%, and 8.5%, respectively. At T2, the frequency of general ED in the female group was 2.5 times higher (OR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.22–5.32, p = 0.012). The low-moderate adherence to the MD students’ group was 0.92 times less frequent than general ED at T2 (OR: 0.921, 95%CI: 0.385–2.20, p < 0.001). The most significant risk factor for developing ED is being a female in the first year of university. Moreover, it appears that the likelihood of developing ED generally increases during the academic year.

“…A pesar de ser una cuestión de salud, gracias a la influencia de los medios de comunicación en ocasiones los tca se califican de manera errónea al considerarlos comportamientos a los que incurren los jóvenes para llamar la atención o para ser parte de una moda (33). Lamentablemente, estas falsas creencias sobre los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria restan importancia al tema, desenfocan la atención y afectan la posibilidad de tener ideas correctas sobre la situación real (34).…”

Cuando se habla de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, es usual pensar en las problemáticas médicas o psicológicas que implican este tipo de patologías. Sin embargo, no se puede negar que estas problemáticas vienen acompañadas de múltiples implicaciones sociales y personales por parte del individuo que se ve afectado, así como de los profesionales de la salud que participan en todo el proceso de atención. Por ende, el objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la necesidad de hacer un análisis ampliado de la realidad personal y social al momento de atender a pacientes con este tipo de trastornos. Para ello, es fundamental ver más allá de la simple patología médica y procurar que se respete siempre el principio de autonomía como piedra angular de la relación existente entre el médico y el paciente. Como conclusión, se busca que el profesional de la salud que interviene en procesos médicos relacionados con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria considere que la salud del paciente no solo consiste en superar el trastorno, sino también en el estado de bienestar durante el proceso terapéutico y sus implicaciones.
