Os principais objectivos deste estudo sĂŁo: a) avaliar
a prevalĂȘncia das doenças do comportamento alimentar
numa população nĂŁo clĂnica de estudantes; b) identificar
a população em risco para as doenças do comportamento
alimentar.
Metodologia: Para a concretização dos objectivos
realizĂĄmos um estudo nĂŁo experimental, transversal, correlacional
de tipo quantitativo. O estudo realizado incidiu
sobre 1388 estudantes do ensino secundĂĄrio e superior
da zona centro de Portugal. Todos os estudantes preencheram
um questionĂĄrio anĂłnimo composto por dados
sociodemogråficos, história recente do peso, critérios
do DSM IV para a anorexia e bulimia e EDI 1.
Resultados: De acordo com os critérios do DSM IV
nĂŁo encontramos qualquer caso de anorexia. Nas raparigas
dos 14 aos 17 anos, constatamos 3,4% de casos
provåveis de situaçÔes parciais de anorexia e 6,3% de
bulimia. Nas raparigas mais velhas (18 aos 25 anos)
verificamos 1,4% de situaçÔes parciais de anorexia e
3,4% de bulimia.
Quanto aos rapazes com idades compreendidas entre
os 14 e os 17 anos relatam-se 1,1% de situaçÔes parciais
de anorexia e 3,5% de bulimia. Nos rapazes mais velhos
(18 aos 25 anos) esses valores sĂŁo ligeiramente inferiores,
ou seja, não se relatam situaçÔes parciais de anorexia,
e apenas 0,6% dos jovens referiram comportamentos
que os enquadram em situação de bulimia.
The goals of this study is: a) to evaluate the prevalence of eating disorders in a non-clinic population of students; b) to identify the group at risk in this population. Methodology: In order to accomplish the goals we conducted a non experimental, transversal, correlational quantitative study. The population for this study is composed by 1388 High School and Undergraduate Students from the Central area of Portugal. All students filled in an anonymous questionnaire, consisting of socio-demographic, recent weight history, DSM IV criterion for bulimia and anorexia and EDI 1. Outcome: In accordance with the DSM IV criterion, we found no case of anorexia. In the case of the girls of the first group (14-17 years) we found 3.4% of partial situations of restrictive anorexia probable cases and 6.3% cases of bulimia. In the case of the older girls (18-25 years), we identified 1.4% of partial situations of anorexia and 3.4% of bulimia. In the case of the boys of the first group (14-17 years), we found 1.1% of sub-clinical situations of anorexia and 3.5% of bulimia. With the older boys (18-25 years) the values are slightly lower: we didnât find any situations of partial anorexia and found only 0.6% behaviours that can be framed as situations of bulimia.
