Objectives: The aim of this study was twofold: a) to establish the prevalence of
adolescents with disordered eating and b) to determine the factors associated with
this prevalence in a sample of Spanish adolescents from the Valle de Ricote (Region of
Murcia, Spain).
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 730 adolescents (56.2% girls)
from the EHDLA study. To determine the prevalence of disordered eating, the Sick,
Control, One stone, Fat, Food (SCOFF) questionnaire was used. A socioecological
approach was used to identify individual-, interpersonal-, or organizational-level factors
associated with disordered eating.
Results: The prevalence of disordered eating was 30.1%. This condition was associated
with female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 2.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.81–3.73),
immigrant status (OR = 2.22; 95% CI, 1.51–3.25), or excess weight (OR = 2.74; 95%
CI, 1.93–3.89). Furthermore, for each additional hour slept, lower odds of having
disordered eating were found (OR = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.67–0.98).
Discussion: Almost one-third of the sample of Spanish adolescents analyzed reported
disordered eating. Female sex, immigrant status and excess weight are individual aspects
that seem to be related to disordered eating among Spanish adolescents. [--]
