Abstract

This study investigates the occurrence of nervous anorexy and body image disorders in 187 middle school students in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, Brazil. Body Mass Index (BMI) and the classification of the nutritional state were used to the anthropometrical evaluation. The analysis of the questionnaire BSQ answers demonstrated that 66.1% of female students presented the body image disorder, and only 18.6% of male students presented such disorder. Regarding the questionnaire EAT answers, the analysis showed that 32% female and 10% male sex presented anorexic symptoms. The obtained results indicated high incidence of nervous anorexy in the population studied as well as a significant presence of body image distortion. These results are relevant to clinic studies of teenagers, mainly those directing to future studies on nutritional orientation focusing on alimentary reeducation
