According to age groups, the mean score for 13, 14.15 and 16 years was 14.05, 13.85, 13.08 and 12.60 points respectively. 16.97% presented >= 20 points (sensitivity, 91%; specificity, 69.2%) and 16.97% of the sample >= 30 points (sensitivity, 67,9%; specificity, 85.9%). There were more positive cases in women than men (2 = 22.4; p < 0.001). The age variable did not show statistically significant differences (2 = 3.379; p > 0.05).

研究某健康区域青少年饮食失调症的患病率。设计：横断面描述性研究。地点：中等教育的初级保健中心。
年龄在13至16岁之间的学生。
在获得学生家长事先授权后，对学生进行《饮食态度测试-40》西班牙语翻译版的有效性测试。对于呈阳性的案例，我们会给他们的家长写信告知。数据被纳入一个数据库，并使用分析和描述性统计的处理工具。
有503份有效问卷（占该健康区域学生的95%）。绝对平均分是13.42分（置信区间，12.57 - 14.28），女性为14.71分，男性为11.82分。按年龄组划分，13岁、14岁、15岁和16岁的平均分分别为14.05分、13.85分、13.08分和12.60分。16.97%的人得分≥20分（敏感度，91%；特异度，69.2%），样本中16.97%的人得分≥30分（敏感度，67.9%；特异度，85.9%）。女性的阳性案例比男性多（χ² = 22.4；p < 0.001）。年龄变量未显示出统计学上的显著差异（χ² = 3.379；p > 0.05）。
中学生中饮食失调症的患病率很高，女性更为常见。我们认为有必要针对这些问题开展预防服务工作并筛查出阳性案例。
