Factors Associated to Susceptibility for the Development of Eating Disorders among Medical Interns

Abstract: Introduction: To analyze factors associated with susceptibility to the development of eating disorders in medical interns. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Two questionnaires were applied, one with sociodemographic data and the other with the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), which is a psychometric instrument to screen eating disorders. Results: A total of 162 internal students were included in the research. Higher EAT-26 scores were found in females on the diet scale (D) (p=0.0079), which shows a pathological refusal to hypercaloric foods and an excessive concern with fitness, bulimia scale and concern with food (B) (p=0.0014) and overall EAT-26 score (p=0.0005). Higher D-scores were found in working and studying students (p=0.0278) and overweight students (p=0.0297). Those who reported being on some form of diet had higher scores on the D scale (p

摘要：引言：本研究旨在分析医学实习生进食障碍发病的易感性相关影响因素。方法：本研究为采用定量研究方法的分析性横断面研究，共使用两份调查问卷：其一为社会人口学资料问卷，其二为进食态度测试量表（Eating Attitudes Test, EAT-26）——该量表为用于筛查进食障碍的心理测量工具。结果：本研究共纳入162名内科实习生。在饮食维度（Dietary scale, D）得分上，女性群体得分更高（p=0.0079），该维度反映个体对高热量食物的病理性拒食以及对体态管理的过度关注；在贪食与食物关注维度（Bulimia scale and concern with food, B）（p=0.0014）及EAT-26总得分（p=0.0005）上，同样呈现女性得分更高的结果。边工作边学习的学生（p=0.0278）以及超重学生（p=0.0297）的D维度得分更高。报告曾采取任意形式节食的受试者，其D维度得分更高（p
