ABSTRACT

Introduction:

the relevance of sociocultural factors with respect to etiology, development and treatment of eating disorders has been supported by many studies.

Objectives:

the aims of this study were a) to analyze the different effects of the aesthetic body shape model on adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) vs bulimia nervosa (BN); b) to analyze possible differences, regarding that body shape model, between patients with purging behaviors vs non purging types of patients; and c) to explore the relationship between the influence of the aesthetic body shape model and other clinically relevant variables such as body dissatisfaction, eating attitudes and personality traits.

Methods:

the sample comprised 104 adolescents suffering from AN and BN. The Questionnaire of Influences on the Aesthetic Body Shape Model (CIMEC-40), the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40) and the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI) were applied.

Results:

the aesthetic body shape model of thinness influenced 77.9% of this sample, this influence being higher in the case of BN patients. In addition, that influence was stronger in the purging-type patients than in the non-purging type. Moreover, there was a significant and positive correlation among the influence of the aesthetic body shape model, body dissatisfaction and severity of eating symptoms. Finally, there seems to exist some personality traits more vulnerable to be affected by sociocultural factors.

Conclusions:

in view of these results, it is necessary that psychotherapeutic approaches take into account the influence of sociocultural factors and body dissatisfaction mainly in the case of adolescents with BN
RESUMEN

Introducción:

la relevancia de los factores socioculturales en la etiología, el desarrollo y el tratamiento de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria ha sido apoyada por varios estudios.

Objetivos:

los objetivos del presente estudio fueron evaluar las diferencias en la influencia del modelo estético corporal en adolescentes diagnosticadas de anorexia nerviosa (AN) y bulimia nerviosa (BN), y explorar la relación existente entre la influencia del modelo estético corporal y otras variables clínicamente relevantes, como la insatisfacción corporal, la presencia de conductas purgativas, las actitudes hacia la comida y los rasgos de personalidad.

Método:

la muestra se compuso de 104 adolescentes con diagnostico de AN y BN. Los instrumentos de evaluación utilizados fueron el Cuestionario de Influencias sobre el Modelo Estético Corporal (CIMEC-40), el Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), el Test de Actitudes Alimentarias (EAT-40) y el Inventario Clínico para Adolescentes de Millón (MACI).

Resultados:

los resultados obtenidos indican que la mayoría de la muestra esta influenciada por el modelo estético corporal de delgadez. En cambio, las pacientes con BN están significativamente mas influenciadas por el modelo estético que las pacientes con AN, provocando en las pacientes con BN una mayor insatisfacción corporal y propiciando la aparición de síntomas bulímicos, sobre todo de tipo purgativo. Por otro lado, parecen existir rasgos de personalidad mas susceptibles a la influencia de los factores socioculturales, que pueden mediar entre la influencia del modelo estético, la insatisfacción y la aparición de síntomas.

Conclusiones:

a la vista de los resultados, se requiere que las medidas de intervención psicoterapéuticas se adapten a la mayor influencia de los factores socioculturales y de insatisfacción corporal en la BN durante la adolescencia
