[Prevalence of eating disorders in secondary level students: A preliminary study].

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To determine the prevalence of eating disorders in secondary level students, as well as to determine the relationship between eating behaviour and personality traits. SUBJECTS AND METHOD:During the 1997-98 school year, 816 secondary level students from Langreo (Asturias) were evaluated. EVALUATION:Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Adult Form (EPQ-A). RESULTS:The sample was made up of 415 males and 401 females [mean age (SD): 15.91 (1.37)]. Seventy-two of eating disorders were detected, 87.5% of which were females (p= 0.0000). The scored higher (p< 0.05) than their counterparts on all EDI subscales, except perfectionism. The females scored higher (p< 0.05) than the males on the drive for thinness and dissatisfaction with one's body subscales, whereas the males scored higher than the females on the perfectionism and maturity fears subscales. In both sexes, clinical features of neuroticism, introversion, and psychoticism were associated with higher scores (p< 0,05) on various EDI subscales. CONCLUSIONS:Greater prevalence of eating disorders in females. The subjects present a different eating behaviour profile based on sex. In both sexes, neuroticism, introversion, and psychoticism features favour a possible distortion of eating behaviour.
