RESUMO
Analisou-se a estrutura fatorial e propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira do Children Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT) e examinaram-se atitudes e comportamentos alimentares problemáticos em crianças da cidade de São Luís, Maranhão. Trezentos e quarenta e sete participantes (160 meninos e 187 meninas) de 8 a 12 anos foram pesados, medidos e completaram o questionário ChEAT. Encontraram-se três fatores para o teste, com alta consistência interna para a escala total e suas subescalas. Encontraram-se diferenças significativas em atitudes e comportamentos alimentares segundo a idade e o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), bem como diferenças em cada fator do ChEAT segundo sexo, idade e IMC. Outros resultados foram que 21% dos participantes apresentam sobrepeso e 5,8% obesidade; e que 43,5% atitudes e comportamentos alimentares alterados. O ChEAT é um instrumento que pode ser utilizado na população infantil brasileira detectando que meninos e meninas que desejam um corpo belo, adotam, para isso, atitudes e comportamentos alimentares implicados na etiologia dos transtornos alimentares.
ABSTRACT
The factorial structure and the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Children Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT) were analyzed and eating attitudes and behaviors were examined. Three hundred, forty-seven children (160 boys and 187 girls), with ages ranging from 8 to 12 years old, were weighed, measured, and completed the ChEAT questionnaire. A three-factor structure was found for ChEAT, with high internal consistency for the entire test and each factor. Significant differences in eating attitudes and behavior according to age group and BMI (BodyMass Index), as well from each ChEAT factor according to sex, age and BMI were found. Other results showed that 21% of the children are overweight and 5.8% are obese and that 43.5% present problematic eating attitudes and behaviors. ChEAT is a good tool that can be used in Brazilian population, detecting that children do worry about having a beautiful body, for that purpose adopting eating behaviors that take part on the genesis of eating disorders.
