RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar a percepção de imagem, a satisfação corporal e o risco para Transtornos Alimentares de estudantes de Nutrição. Material e

Métodos:

Estudo observacional transversal, com 165 universitárias de uma universidade pública. O peso e a altura foram referidos pelas participantes e o estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Foram aplicados os questionários Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) e Silhouette Matching Task (SMT).

Resultados:

Observou-se que 38,8% das avaliadas tinham alteração de percepção de imagem, 69,7% tinham insatisfação corporal e 32,7% tinham risco para Transtorno Alimentar. As estudantes com excesso de peso apresentaram mais chance de desenvolver Transtorno Alimentar (OR 7,91) e de apresentar alteração de percepção de imagem (OR 20,19). Ao associar os resultados obtidos nos três instrumentos utilizados, 32,1% das avaliadas não apresentaram fator de risco para desenvolver Transtornos Alimentares.

Conclusão:

Foram encontrados elevados percentuais de risco para o desenvolvimento de Transtornos Alimentares, alteração de percepção de imagem e insatisfação corporal na população estudada, sendo que este risco foi maior entre as estudantes que apresentavam excesso de peso. (AU)

The students with overweight and obesity were more likely to develop an eating disorder (OR 7.91) and present image distortion (OR 20.19).By associating the results obtained with the three instruments, only 32.1% of the subjects presented no risk for development of eating disorders.
