| Abstract | Risk factors associated with eating disorders in Mexican preadolescents with normal weight. This study aimed to identify the differences in body self-esteem, general self-esteem and eating attitudes in a representative sample of children, aged 9-12 years, attending school in Mexico DF. The logistic regression model incorporated the variables of sex, general self-esteem, BMI, age and discrepancy between the perceived image and the ideal image. Participants with an increased risk of eating disorders were girls: a) with less general self-esteem; b) BMI at the upper range of normal weight; c) greater negative discrepancy between perceived and ideal image; d) aged 11-12 years. Higher general selfesteem would act as a protector for eating disorders, while the desire for a thinner ideal body would be a risk factor. |
