Abstract	En el marco del SubPrograma de Psicologia Clinica para Adolescentes realizamos desde mayo de 2001 tareas de prevencion en Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (TCA) en adolescentes mujeres de escuelas publicas del distrito Avellaneda. En el ano 2003 incorporamos a la tarea preventiva a la poblacion masculina de tales escuelas. Se comparan aqui los resultados epidemiologicos obtenidos para TCA en ambos sexos. Objetivos: 1) Conocer la prevalencia de: a) TCA, b) conductas dietantes patologicas y c) conductas bulimicas en poblacion no clinica adolescente de ambos sexos. 2) Comparar resultados intergenero y segun fases cronologicas de la adolescencia. Metodologia: En una muestra de 435 adolescentes de ambos sexos de 13 a 20 anos (Media: 15,9 anos) utilizamos un cuestionario autoadministrado (EAT-26, corte:20 puntos) que evalua vulnerabilidad para TCA segun tres subescalas: Dietante, Bulimica y Control. Resultados: La poblacion total (n=435) estaba compuesta por un 61,5% de mujeres y un 38,5% de varones. De esta poblacion, el 14,3% era vulnerable para un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria. Tomando unicamente a las mujeres, la prevalencia aumenta al 20,2%, mientras que entre los varones es del 0,5%. La adolescencia tardia es la fase mas vulnerable para ambos sexos. Resumen en Ingles In the frame of the Subprogram of Clinical Psychology for Adolescents, prevention working for Eating Disorders (ED) was made in women adolescents from public schools of Avellaneda district since May 2001. In 2003 male population of those schools was included in the prevention working. The epidemiological results obtained for both genders will be compared. Objectives: 1) To know the prevalence of: a) Eating Disorders, b) pathological dieting behavior and c) bulimic behaviors in non clinical adolescent population of both genders. 2) To compare results between genders and chronological phases of adolescence. Methodology: In a sample of 435 adolescents of both genders (from 13 to 20 years old: media: 15,9 years) an auto-administrated questionnaire was used (EAT-26, cutt-off:20 points). The EAT-26 indicates, according with 3 sub-scales (dieting, bulimic and control) whether a person is vulnerable for ED or not. Results: The whole population (n=435) was integrated by a 61,5% of women and a 38,5% of males. From this population the 14,3% was vulnerable for an Eating Disorder. Taking only the women, prevalence increases to 20,2%, while decreases to 0,5% in the male. Late adolescence is the most vulnerable phase for both genders.
