ABSTRACT

In contemporary society, the predominant ideal of beauty is thinness, which is related to unreal social advantages; obsession with thinness, bulimia nervosa, body dissatisfaction, asceticism and perfectionism are intertwined in a complex network of factors that significantly increase the risk of eating disorders (ED) and the emergence of overcontrol (OCD). The aim of the present study was to describe RTCA and CD where 375 psychology students participated with the application of the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-3) instrument, statistically significant differences were found in thinness obsession between men and women for both age groups, with women presenting higher scores; in addition to differences in RTCA between sex groups in ages 19 years and older. Men showed concern for their weight and physical appearance, carrying out control behaviors and habits to avoid weight gain, and with respect to women there were age differences in all variables except perfectionism. Males ≤ 18 years showed higher prevalence of RTCA, OD, and perfectionism, whereas in those ≥ 19 years, BN and asceticism prevailed. In females ≥ 19 years, all variables were higher except asceticism. Males ≤ 18 years presented higher risk of RTCA, compared with females in the same age group. Females ≥ 19 years had higher RTCA, standing out in OD and IC.
