ABSTRACT

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: The interplay between eating disorders and psychosis is a challenging field to which little attention has been paid. Its study raises conceptual and methodological questions in both areas, making the diagnosis and management of patients difficult. Such questions are addressed and illustrated with a review and case report. METHODS: The authors present the case of a woman with Anorexia Nervosa and with comorbid Shared Psychotic Disorder, based on a literature review regarding the comorbidity between eating disorders and psychosis. The authors conducted a non-systematic review by searching the PubMed database, using the Mesh Terms "anorexia nervosa", "bulimia nervosa", "comorbidity" and "psychotic disorders". RESULTS: The findings suggest that studies on the subject are limited by issues regarding data on the prevalence of comorbidities, phenomenological aspects of eating disorders, and the interface and integration with psychotic symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: The case presented illustrates the difficulties in managing a patient with a comorbid eating disorder and psychosis. In order to ensure a rigorous assessment of both psychotic and eating disorder symptoms, the focus should be on the pattern of appearance or emergence of symptoms, their phenomenology, clinical and family background of the patient, and clinical status on follow-up.


RESUMO INTRODUÇÃO: A interface entre perturbação do comportamento alimentar e psicose é um campo desafiador para o qual pouca atenção foi direcionada. O seu estudo levanta algumas questões conceituais e metodológicas em ambas as áreas, dificultando o diagnóstico e o manejo dos pacientes. Essas questões são abordadas e ilustradas neste trabalho com uma revisão e um relato de caso. MÉTODOS: Os autores apresentam o caso de uma mulher com anorexia nervosa e perturbação psicótica partilhada comórbida, com base numa revisão da literatura sobre a comorbilidade entre perturbação do comportamento alimentar e psicose. Os autores realizaram uma revisão não sistemática, por meio de pesquisa no banco de dados PubMed, utilizando os termos "anorexia nervosa", "bulimia nervosa", "comorbilidade" e "perturbações psicóticas". RESULTADOS: Os resultados sugerem que os estudos sobre o tema são limitados por questões inerentes a escassos dados sobre prevalência de comorbilidades, aspectos fenomenológicos das perturbações alimentares, e sua interface e integração com sintomas psicóticos. CONCLUSÕES: O caso apresentado ilustra as dificuldades no manejo de uma paciente com perturbação alimentar e psicose. A fim de garantir uma abordagem rigorosa dos sintomas psicóticos e alimentares, a avaliação do paciente deve focar o padrão de emergência dos sintomas, a sua fenomenologia, antecedentes clínicos e familiares e o seu status clínico.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El comportamiento clínico de la diabetes mellitus tipo 1 y el enfoque terapéutico de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria se complejizan cuando estos coinciden en una misma persona. Objetivo: Describir algunos aspectos del comportamiento clínico y enfoque terapéutico de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 1. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda de literatura relevante sobre el tema en el primer semestre de 2019. Se utilizaron como buscadores de información científica a Pubmed y a Google Académico. Como criterios iniciales de elegibilidad, se evaluaron artículos de revisión, de investigación y páginas Web que, en general, tenían menos de 10 años de publicados, en idioma español, portugués e inglés, y que hicieran referencia específicamente al tema de estudio a través del título. Fueron excluidos los artículos que no cumplieron con estas condiciones. Esto permitió el estudio de 65 artículos, de los cuales 33 fueron referenciados. Conclusiones: El comportamiento clínico de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 combina síntomas y signos propios de ambas dolencias. Ambas entidades nosológicas se deben prevenir, pesquisar, diagnosticar e intervenir desde los servicios de atención primaria de salud, a través de una perspectiva interdisciplinaria. El tratamiento endocrinológico, unido a la terapia individual, la psicoeducación relacionada con los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, la terapia familiar y un plan de tratamiento integral para la salud mental son imprescindibles desde el primer nivel de atención(AU)


Introduction: The clinical behavior of type 1 diabetes mellitus and the therapeutic approach to eating disorders become more complex when they coincide in the same person. Objective: To describe some aspects of the clinical behavior and therapeutic approach of eating disorders in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A search of relevant literature on the subject was carried out in the first semester of 2019. We used, as search engines for scientific information, Pubmed and Google Scholar. As initial eligibility criteria, we evaluated review articles, research articles, and web pages which, in general, were published less than 10 years ago, in Spanish, Portuguese and English, and which made, in their titles, specific reference to the topic of the study. Articles that did not meet these conditions were excluded. This allowed the study of 65 articles, of which 33 were referenced. Conclusions: The clinical behavior of eating disorders in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus combines symptoms and signs typical of both conditions. Both nosological entities must be prevented, screened, diagnosed and intervened, starting in primary health care services, through an interdisciplinary perspective. Endocrinological treatment, together with individual therapy, eating disorders-related psychoeducation, family therapy, and a comprehensive treatment plan for mental health are essential, starting in the first level of care(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the risk behavior for bulimia among female adolescents from public and private high schools. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a random sample of 850 female students aged 15-18 years was carried out in a city in northeastern Brazil, using the Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh (BITE) to assess the risk behavior for bulimia. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the Pearson's chi-square , Fisher's exact and robust Poisson regression tests, adopting the significance level of 5%. Results: Less than half of the sample (42.0%) showed standards of dietary risk and weight control practices; in 1.4% of the sample, bulimia signs were already installed. Fear of gaining weight was reported by 62.8% of the subjects. Risk practices were lower among students from public schools; (Odds Ratio - OR - 0.82; confidence interval of 95% - 95%CI - 0.69-0.97). Among restrictive practices, fasting for a whole day was the most applied (29.9% of the students). Among individuals who were at risk situation, almost half believed to have normal eating habits (prevalence ratio - PR - 0.42; 95%CI 0.36-0.49). Individuals who consider their eating habits normal, who are afraid of gaining weight, those who seek emotional comfort in food and follow strict diets had higher risk for bulimia (p<0.05). Conclusions: The number of female adolescent students with risk behavior practices for bulimia is high, and the frequency of those unaware of this situation is also very high. Risk situations emerge as a collective health problem, and individuals from private schools were more likely to be in this situation.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar comportamentos de risco para bulimia em adolescentes do sexo feminino de escolas públicas e particulares. Métodos: Estudo transversal com amostra aleatória de 850 estudantes do sexo feminino, com idades entre 15 e 18 anos, realizado em cidade do Nordeste do Brasil, utilizando o Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh (BITE) para avaliar comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson, o teste exato de Fisher e a regressão de Poisson, com o software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), adotando o nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados: Da amostra estudada, 42,0% apresentou padrões de risco e práticas de dieta e controle de peso e 1,4% já apresentava sinais de bulimia instalados. O medo de ganhar peso foi relatado por 62,8% das adolescentes. As práticas de risco foram menos frequentes em estudantes de escolas públicas (Odds Ratio - OR - 0,82; intervalo de confiança de 95% - IC95% - 0,69-0,97). Entre as práticas restritivas, jejum por um dia inteiro foi o mais aplicado pelas participantes (29,9%). Entre os indivíduos com situação de risco, quase metade acreditava ter hábitos alimentares normais (razão de prevalência - RP - 0,42; IC95% 0,36-0,49). Estudantes que consideram seus hábitos alimentares normais, que têm medo de ganhar peso, que procuram conforto emocional em alimentos e seguem dietas rigorosas tiveram maior risco para bulimia (p<0,05). Conclusões: O número de estudantes com práticas de comportamento de risco para bulimia é alto, e o número daquelas que desconhecem essa situação também é muito alto. As situações de risco emergem como problemas de saúde coletiva, e indivíduos de escolas particulares são mais propensos a apresentar transtornos alimentares.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: As the number of surgeries increases and the elapsed time of the realization increases as well, the postoperative evaluations would become increasingly necessary. Aim: To assess the psychological profile before and after surgery. Methods: Were evaluated 281 patients from the public service of bariatric surgery. In this study, 109 patients completed the evaluations before surgery (T0) and up to 23 months after surgery (T1); 128 completed the evaluations in T0 and between 24 months and 59 months after surgery (T2); and 44 completed the evaluations in T0 and 60 months after surgery (T3). A semi-structured interview, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety (BAI), and the Binge Eating Scale (BES) were used. Results: There was a higher prevalence of female (83%), patients with less than 12 years of education (83%), and patients who have a partner (64%). Analyzing all times of evaluation, regarding anxiety, depression, and binge eating, there was a reduction in all symptoms in T1, pointing to significant improvements in the first 23 months after surgery. Already, in T2 and T3, there was an increase in all indicators of anxiety, depression, and binge eating pointing to the transient impact of weight loss or bariatric surgery on these symptoms. Conclusions: This study shows the importance of the continuous psychological evaluation and needs for the appropriate interventions for these patients who have undergone bariatric surgery, even after weight loss.


RESUMO Racional: Avaliações pós-operatórias têm se tornado necessárias em ciruriga bariátrica considerando o grande número de operações e o tempo decorrido de sua realização. Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil psicológico de pacientes de um serviço público de cirurgia bariátrica antes e após o procedimento. Métodos: Foram avaliados no total 281 pacientes. Destes, 109 completaram as avaliações antes (T0) e até 23 meses após a operação (T1); 128 completaram as avaliações em T0 e entre 24 meses e 59 meses após a operação (T2); e 44 completaram as avaliações em T0 e 60 meses após a operação (T3). Foram utilizados entrevista semi-estruturada, Inventário Beck de Depressão (BDI), Inventário Beck de Ansiedade (BAI) e Escala de Compulsção Alimentar Periódica (ECAP). Resultados: Observou-se maior prevalência de mulheres (83%), pacientes com menos de 12 anos de escolaridade (83%) e pacientes que tinham um companheiro(a) (64%). Ao analisar todos os tempos de avaliação, observou-se que, com relação à ansiedade, depressão e compulsão alimentar, houve redução de todos os sintomas em T1, apontando para melhorias significativas nos primeiros 23 meses após a operação. Já em T2 e T3 observou-se aumento de todos os indicadores de ansiedade, depressão e compulsão alimentar, apontando para o impacto transitório da perda de peso alcançada pela cirurgia bariátrica nesses sintomas. Conclusões: Este estudo mostra a importância de avaliações psicológicas contínuas e a necessidade de intervenções multiprofissionais apropriadas para pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica, mesmo após a perda de peso.

ABSTRACT

A parasitological survey was conducted at some zoos in the states of São Paulo and Paraná, Brazil, from 2009 to 2011. Several groups of birds were surveyed for fecal samples, but the most important was Psittacidae. Among the parasites, Eimeria (coccidian) and Capillaria, Ascaridia and Heterakis (nematodes) were observed in almost one third of the samples. Presence of a rich parasite fauna associated with captive birds seems to be an effect of captivity, since data on free-ranging birds indicate few or virtually no parasites at all. The discovery of new coccidian species during this survey reveals the need of more research on the subject as even well-known bird species have unknown parasites, but caution must be exercised in order to avoid descriptions of pseudoparasites.


Um levantamento parasitológico foi conduzido em alguns zoológicos dos Estados de São Paulo e Paraná, Brasil, de 2009 a 2011. Vários grupos de aves foram examinados por meio de amostras fecais, sendo o mais importante o Psittacidae. Entre os parasitas, Eimeria (coccidio) e Capillaria, Ascaridia e Heterakis (nematoides) foram observados em quase um terço das amostras. A presença de uma rica fauna parasitária associada a aves cativas parece ser um efeito do cativeiro, já que dados oriundos de animais de vida livre mostraram poucos ou virtualmente nenhum parasita. A descoberta de novas espécies de coccídeos durante esse levantamento revela a necessidade de mais pesquisas sobre o assunto, pois até espécies de aves bem conhecidas têm parasitas desconhecidos, por isso toda cautela é necessária para se evitar a descrição de pseudoparasitas.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess psychiatric symptoms, substance use, quality of life and eating behavior of patients undergoing bariatric surgery before and after the procedure. METHODS: We conducted a prospective longitudinal study of 32 women undergoing bariatric surgery. To obtain data, the patients answered specific, self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS: We observed a reduction in depressive and anxious symptoms and also in bulimic behavior, as well as an improved quality of life in the physical, psychological and environmental domains. There was also a decrease in use of antidepressants and appetite suppressants, but the surgery was not a cessation factor in smoking and / or alcoholism. CONCLUSION: a decrease in psychiatric symptoms was observed after bariatric surgery, as well as the reduction in the use of psychoactive substances. In addition, there was an improvement in quality of life after surgical treatment of obesity. .


OBJETIVO: avaliar a sintomatologia psiquiátrica, o uso de substâncias, a qualidade de vida e o comportamento alimentar de pacientes submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica antes e após o procedimento. MÉTODOS: estudo longitudinal prospectivo com 32 mulheres submetidas à cirurgia báriatrica. Para a obtenção de dados, as pacientes responderam a questionários específicos, autoaplicados. RESULTADOS: foi identificada uma redução na sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa e também no comportamento bulímico, bem como uma melhora na qualidade de vida nos domínios físico, psíquico e ambiental. Houve diminuição do uso de antidepressivos e de moderadores de apetite, porém a cirurgia não foi um fator determinante na cessação do tabagismo e/ou etilismo. . CONCLUSÃO: foi observada uma diminuição da sintomatologia psiquiátrica após a cirurgia bariátrica, bem como redução do uso de substâncias psicoativas. Além disso, houve melhora na qualidade de vida após o tratamento cirúrgico da obesidade. .

ABSTRACT

La investigación se llevó a cabo en ALUBA (Asociación de Lucha contra la Bulimia y la Anorexia), una institución creada por padres de pacientes con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria , El estudio de campo se efectuó sobre 29 pacientes que padecían bulimia, subtipo purgativa. El objetivo planteado fue describir cómo se alteran las estructuras estomatológicas y cómo influe sobre el patrón deglutorio. Se pretende ampliar el campo de acción de la fonoaudiología e incluir a la patología alimentaria dentro del protocolo de anamnesis y valoración de nuestra área de incumbencia, así como también poder brindar una respuesta terapéutica a este tipo de trastorno . Este trabajo es una investigación de tipo transversal, descriptiva. Los resultados más relevantes fueron el hallazgo de patrones deglutorios alterados en el 79,31 por ciento de los pacientes, ausencia del reflejo nauseoso en el 93,10 por ciento y marcadas disfonías en el 68,96 por ciento. En cuanto al sistema dentario, la característica más importante fue el desgaste de piezas dentarias en el 51.72 por ciento, y la presencia de caries en el 53,33 por ciento. Se reconoce que todas estas alteraciones son factores comunes hallados en pacientes seculares de bulimia subtipo purgativa. Podemos afirmar que fueron producidas por los ácidos digestivos y contracciones constantes de los músculos de todo el organismo producidos por el vómito autoprovocado, que llegaron a lesionar las estructuras blandas del sistema fonoestomatológico y a modificar su funcionalidad.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: En relación al impacto de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) sobre el embarazo, la mayoría de la evidencia advierte sobre consecuencias negativas prenatales y postnatales para la madre y el feto. Objetivo: Determinar la presencia de comportamientos alimentarios anormales en gestantes controladas en atención primaria, y analizar descriptiva y comparativamente las pacientes con estas actitudes en relación con variables maternas, del embarazo, rasgos psicológicos y conductuales. Método: 141 pacientes embarazadas fueron encuestadas con el test de actitudes alimentarias (EAT-40) y el inventario de trastornos alimentarios (EDI), a los cuales se añadieron preguntas relativas al embarazo e historia de TCA. Resultados: 23,4 por ciento de las encuestadas obtuvieron puntajes en rango patológico de EAT-40, donde la historia previa de TCA emerge como un factor de riesgo importante para el desarrollo de un desorden alimentario en estas pacientes. Otras diferencias se observaron en los puntajes del EAT-40, el EDI y todas sus subescalas. Conclusión: La cifra alcanzada para conductas anormales de alimentación supera ampliamente a la planteada para TCA clínicos, los que además reflejan tendencia a la cronicidad aun en el embarazo. Se requieren estudios adicionales que orienten a los profesionales de salud en la prevención, detección y tratamiento de los TCA en el embarazo.


Background: According to the impact of eating disorders on pregnant women, most evidence shows negative pre and post natal consequences for the mother and the fetus. Objective: To determine the presence of abnormal eating behaviors in pregnant women controlled in primary care, and to describe and compare eating disordered patients in relation to the pregnancy, maternal, psychological and behavioral characteristics. Method: The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI) and a questionnaire about demographic and pregnancy data and previous history of eating disorders were administered to 141 pregnant women. Results: 23.4 percent of the polled women scored within the pathological range of EAT-40, in whom the prior history of eating disorders emerged as the most important factor of risk to develop an eating disorder in these patients. Furthermore, considerable differences were seen in the average of EAT-40 scores and in the EDI and its all subscales. Conclusion: The percentage of pregnant women who displayed abnormal eating behaviors exceeds the rate described in literature for clinical eating disorders. Besides, it reflect tendency to be a chronic disease even in pregnancy. Additional studies are required to help health personnel to prevent, detect and treat women with eating disorders in pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

Background: Eating disorders may have serious organic consequences derived from under nutrition, specific nutrient deficiencies and electrolytic disturbances and reach a mortality as high as 12 percent. Aim: To describe the features and outcome after six months of treatment of patients attending the Eating Disorders Unit at the Catholic University Hospital in Chile. Material and methods: Review of medical records of patients with eating disorders that received a multidisciplinary treatment by a team of nutritionists, psychiatrists and psychologists and were seen at least twice in a period of six months. Results: The records of 81 patients (mean age 16.3±3 years, only one male) were included in the review. Forty nine patients had Anorexia Nervosa of the restricting type, five of the purging type, 22 had Bulimia Nervosa of the purging type and two of the non purging type and three patients had an eating disorder not otherwise specified. Eighty percent consulted within the first year of symptom appearance. Sixty five percent came from families with both parents living together, 57 percent had a rigid and agglutinated family structure and 65 percent had occult crises. Depression or dysthymia was found in 45 percent of patients and drug therapy was required at the beginning of treatment in 25 percent. Obsessive traits (40.4 percent) were significantly related to restrictive eaters. A past history of obesity or overweight was common. After six months of treatment, body mass index increasing significantly in restrictive eaters with obsessive traits and occult family crises was noticed. Conclusions: A multidisciplinary therapeutic intervention improved body mass index and family symptoms in patients with restrictive eating disorders.

ABSTRACT

Objective. The main purpose of this study was to identify the trends of risky eating behaviors among student population in Mexico City in the period 1997-2003 and its relationship with sex age and family head educational level. Methods. Data from the 1997 (N = 9,755), 2000 (N = 3,286) and 2003 (N = 3,062) Drug and Alcohol Prevalence in Student Population of Mexico City Survey's were analyzed. These are representative data of students of junior high, high school and technical schools in Mexico City, with a mean age of 14.5 years (SD - 1.9). Eating behaviors were assessed with a brief questionnaire developed following DSM-FV diagnostic criteria. Risky eating behaviors and the number of risk indicators were compared by sex, age and family head educational level. Results. The results showed an overall increase in the percentage of males (from 1.3% in 1997 to 3.8% in 2003), and females (3.4% in 1997 to 9.6% in 2003) who showed 3 or more risky eating behaviors. The analysis by age groups showed an increase in all but 16-17 year old males, and in all females, being 12-13 year old males and 18-19 year old females the most affected. Regarding the type of risk indicators in both sexes and across all age groups, an increase in preoccupation towards gaining weight and the use of purging and restrictive methods to loose weight was observed. Body weight over estimation decreased in males, while in females showed an increase along with binges in the 2000 survey but showed a decrease after that (2003 survey). The relationship between the family head educational level and risky eating behaviors did not show a regular pattern among males, while a positive relationship between both variables was found among females. Conclusions. A first overall view of the situation of risky eating behaviors among adolescent students in Mexico City and the changes observed in the period studied. An increase of these behaviors was observed along the period of study, being younger males and older females the most affected, as well as women whose family head showed higher educational level.


Objetivo. Identificar las tendencias de las conductas alimentarias de riesgo en estudiantes del Distrito Federal en el periodo 1997-2003 y su relación con el sexo, la edad y el nivel de escolaridad del jefe de familia. Material y métodos. Se analizaron los datos de las encuestas sobre la Prevalencia del Consumo de Drogas y Alcohol en la Población Estudiantil del Distrito Federal 1997 (N = 9,755), 2000 (N = 3,286) y 2003 (N = 3,062). Se trata de muestras representativas de estudiantes de nivel secundaria, preparatoria y técnico en la ciudad de México, con una edad promedio de 14.5 años (DE = 1.9). La información acerca de conductas alimentarias de riesgo se obtuvo mediante un cuestionario breve desarrollado con base en los criterios diagnósticos del DSM-IV. Se hicieron comparaciones por sexo, edad y escolaridad del jefe de familia acerca del tipo, cantidad y frecuencia de conductas alimentarias de riesgo. Resultados. Los resultados mostraron un incremento general en la proporción de estudiantes que reportaron tres o más conductas alimentarias de riesgo (hombres, 1.3% en 1997 a 3.8% en 2003; mujeres 3.4% en 1997 a 9.6% en 2003). Por grupos de edad, se observó incremento en la frecuencia de estas conductas en varones de todas las edades excepto los de 16 y 17 años, y en las mujeres de todas las edades, siendo los más importantes en los varones de 12-13 años y en las mujeres de 18-19 años. En cuanto a los tipos de conducta, se incrementaron la preocupación por engordar y el uso de métodos purgativos y restrictivos para bajar de peso, la sobrestimación del peso corporal disminuyó de forma general en los varones, mientras que en las mujeres se incrementó junto con la práctica de atracones en la medición 2000, pero disminuyó en la medición 2003. La relación con la escolaridad del jefe de familia no mostró un patrón regular en los varones, pero en las mujeres se encontró una relación positiva entre estas variables. Conclusiones. Se muestra un primer panorama acerca de la situación que guardan las conductas alimentarias de riesgo en los adolescentes escolarizados de la ciudad de México y los cambios observados en el periodo estudiado. Se observa un incremento de dichas conductas a lo largo del periodo de estudio, siendo los varones más jóvenes y las mujeres de mayor edad los má-s afectados, así como las mujeres cuyo jefe de familia refirió mayor nivel de escolaridad.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between binge-eating episodes and a perception that body weight is above the ideal in a sample of customers interviewed at shopping malls in five Brazilian cities. METHODS: In 1999, data were collected over the course of one week (Monday-Friday only) at the largest shopping malls in the cities of Porto Alegre, Salvador, Fortaleza, Goiânia and Curitiba (two malls per city). A total of 2855 participants (917 men and 1938 women) were interviewed. Weight and height measurements were standardized. Binge-eating episodes were identified using a questionnaire including the following questions based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria: "Have you ever eaten, in a period of two hours or less, an amount of food greater than that most people would eat?" and "If the answer was "yes", did you, during these episodes, feel unable to stop eating or to control how much you were eating?". RESULTS: The prevalence of binge-eating episodes was higher among overweight subjects (15.6%) compared with normal-weight subjects (9.9%) (p = 0.0001) and, among subjects who perceived their body weight to be above the ideal (men: 13.9%; women: 15.1%) compared with those who perceived their body weight to be ideal or below the ideal (men: 8%; women: 7%) (p < 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis adjusted for body mass index and demographic variables, binge-eating episodes were correlated with the perception that body weight is above the ideal only among women (OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.2-2.5). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the perception that body weight is above the ideal, regardless of overweight status, is associated with binge-eating episodes in women.


OBJETIVO: Investigar a relação entre percepção de peso corporal acima do ideal e episódios de compulsão alimentar em uma amostra de usuários de shopping centers de cinco cidades brasileiras. MÉTODOS: Centrais de atendimento foram montadas nos dois maiores shopping centers de cinco cidades: Porto Alegre, Salvador, Fortaleza, Goiânia e Curitiba, durante cinco dias do ano de 1999, de segunda a sexta-feira, com a participação de 2.855 indivíduos (917 homens e 1.938 mulheres). O peso corporal e a altura foram medidos de forma padronizada. Os episódios de compulsão alimentar foram avaliados através de um questionário que incluía as seguintes questões: "Você já comeu em duas horas ou menos, uma quantidade de comida que a maioria das pessoas consideraria grande demais?" e "Em caso afirmativo, nas ocasiões em que comeu deste modo, geralmente sentia que não conseguia parar de comer ou controlar o quanto comia?", formuladas a partir dos critérios diagnósticos do DSM-IV. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de episódios de compulsão alimentar foi maior entre indivíduos com sobrepeso (15,6%) comparados aos de peso normal (9,9%) (p = 0,0001) e, entre indivíduos com percepção do peso corporal acima do ideal (14% em homens, 15% em mulheres) comparados àqueles que percebiam o peso corporal como ideal ou abaixo do ideal (8% em homens, 7% em mulheres) (p < 0,0001). Em análise multivariada, ajustada pelo Índice de Massa Corporal e variáveis demográficas, os episódios de compulsão alimentar mostraram-se associados à percepção de peso corporal acima do ideal somente nas mulheres (RC: 1,8 IC 95%: 1,2-2,5). CONCLUSÕES: Este estudo sugere que a percepção do peso corporal como acima do ideal, independente do sobrepeso, está associada com a ocorrência de episódios de compulsão alimentar em mulheres.

ABSTRACT

La prevalencia de trastornos alimentarios (TA) ha presentado un aumento progresivo. Tanto la anorexia nerviosa (AN) como la bulimia nerviosa (BN) son consideradas una importante causa de morbilidad y mortalidad entre mujeres adolescentes y adultas. Las pacientes con AN y BN presentan signos dermatológicos particulares que pueden ser de gran valor en la evaluación clínica. Para una mejor comprensión de los hallazgos cutáneos, éstos han sido clasificados en cuatro grupos: secundarios a alteraciones en la dieta, secundarios a vómitos autoinducidos, secundarios a abuso de sustancias y causados por enfermedad psiquiátrica concomitante. Si bien ninguno de estos hallazgos tiene un valor predictivo de manera aislada, su combinación podría ayudarnos al oportuno diagnóstico y tratamientos de estas pacientes.

ABSTRACT

A comorbidade de transtornos alimentares (TA) com o transtorno do déficit de atenção com hiperatividade (TDAH) é pouco investigada, apesar de relevante para o tratamento clínico. MÉTODOS: 86 adultos com transtorno do déficit de atenção com hipeartividade segundo o DSM-IV de uma amostra inicial de 107 indivíduos auto-referidos para um centro especializado em TDAH foram entrevistados com o SCID-P para avaliar a presença de transtornos alimentares e outros transtornos comórbidos. RESULTADOS: Nove pacientes apresentavam transtornos alimentares, sendo o transtorno da compulsão alimentar periódica (TCAP) o diagnóstico mais comum. O grupo com transtornos alimentares revelou maior número de comorbidades (p=0,02), não foram observadas, entretanto, diferenças quanto ao sexo, idade na avaliação atual, escolaridade e tipo de transtorno do déficit de atenção com hiperatividade entre os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: Amostras clínicas de transtorno do déficit de atenção com hiperatividade podem apresentar elevada prevalência de comorbidade com transtorno da compulsão alimentar periódica. Pacientes com transtorno do déficit de atenção com hiperatividade e transtornos alimentares podem apresentar um perfil diferente de comorbidades.

ABSTRACT

Bulimia nervosa and depression have been identified as frequent mental health problems among adolescents. Bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder has been associated with depression especially among female population. The literature has established a high comorbidity between these disorders. Although depression was initially conceptualized as an adult disorder, recent research evidenced this disorder among adolescents. For this study, it was hypothesized that participants who presented bulimic symptomatology were going to present a higher depressive symptomatology than those who had no bulimic symptoms. The Bulimia Test (Bulit) and the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) were administered to 309 students from a private high school in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Correlation analyses and group comparisons were performed to investigate the relationship between bulimia nervosa and depression among participants. As hypothesized, a significant correlation (p < .01) was found between depression and bulimia nervosa symptomatology. Females showed a higher average of bulimic symptomatology than males. Early identification for treatments with bulimia and depression would be helpful in preventing future problems in later adulthood. Implications of this study are discussed

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Determinar la utilidad diagnóstica y la validez interna del Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-2) en mujeres mexicanas. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: De octubre de 2000 a enero de 2001 se invitó a participar a todas las mujeres que a juicio de los psiquiatras de la consulta de anorexia del Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, de la Ciudad de México, padecían anorexia nervosa o bulimia, sin otra patología psiquiátrica. Es un estudio observacional, comparativo, transversal y prolectivo de dos grupos de mujeres: pacientes de la Clínica de Anorexia del Instituto y de una escuela de la Ciudad de México. Se realizó una entrevista clínica estructurada como estándar de oro (SCID/Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales) y la aplicación del Eating Disorder Inventory. El análisis estadístico incluyó t de Student para muestras independientes, coeficiente alpha de Cronbach, sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo y negativo. RESULTADOS: No hubo diferencias significativas en peso, talla e índice de masa corporal entre los grupos. La edad de las mujeres sin trastorno alimentario fue menor (16.7±2.8 vs. 19.9±4.3, p=0.004). La calificación total del Eating Disorder Inventory fue claramente diferente (53.8±32.4 mujeres sin trastorno alimentario vs. 146.3±45.6 pacientes, p<0.001). Para todas las subescalas los coeficientes alpha de Cronbach fueron superiores a 0.85. Para la calificación total se sugiere un punto de corte sensible de 80 [sensibilidad 90.9 (IC 95 por ciento 69.4-98.4, especificidad 80 (IC 95 por ciento 58.7-92.4)], y uno específico de 105 [sensibilidad 81.8 (IC 95 por ciento 59-94), especificidad 89.3 (IC 95 por ciento 70.6-97.2)]. CONCLUSIONES: El Eating Disorder Inventory es útil para investigar trastorno alimentario, con coeficientes de validez interna altos en la población estudiada

ABSTRACT

Estos trastornos del comportamiento alimentario se escapan cada vez con mayor frecuencia al examen clínico dental, por el aumento en el número de casos que en la actualidad se presentan, es imperativo el conocimiento y la capacitación en cuanto a cómo este tipo de desórdenes alimentarios de naturaleza psiquiátrica inciden y modifican la práctica dental rutinaria desde aspectos psicológicos y conductuales del paciente, hasta manifestaciones clínicas específicas que suponen un reacomodo de las prioridades preventivas y terapéuticas en odontología. Por la temprana edad promedio en la que estos pacientes acuden a la condulta, el dentista juega un rol importante en la detección y diagnóstico oportuno de esto padecimientos que usualmente son manejados tardíamente en las clínicas psiquiátricas varios años después. En este trabajo se presenta una revisión bibliográfica general de estos dos trastornos, exponiendo aspectos generales del síndrome y relativos a la repercusión que tienen en los dientes y demás tejidos bucales, como parte integral de estos trastornos y no como entidades aisladas, así como los recursos terapéuticos que existen para su manejo odontológico
