The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of abnormal eating attitudes (AEA) in Mexican high school and university students in the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. By means of a transversal study with a weighted, random and multistage sampling process, we analyzed a representative sample of female students (N= 2006). The instrument was the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2), validated in Mexican population and a questionnaire of sociodemographic data. The prevalence of AEA was 12.6% and its frequency was significantly higher in high school than in university students. AEA cases were uniformly distributed among public and private institutions and a highly significant relationship between substances consumption and AEA was observed. A logistic regression model for AEA was obtained. Therefore, a profile of highly AEA was built based on sociodemographic data and a solid instrument validated in Mexican population, which can be employed as a screening and secondary prevention tool to design public health programs.
本研究旨在确定墨西哥圣路易斯波托西市高中生和大学生中异常饮食态度（AEA）的流行情况。通过一项具有代表性的女性学生样本（N=2006）的横断面研究，采用加权、随机和多阶段抽样过程进行分析。研究工具为饮食障碍量表-2（EDI-2），该量表已在墨西哥人群中得到验证，同时还使用了一份社会人口学数据问卷。AEA 的患病率为 12.6%，且在高中生中的发生率显著高于大学生。AEA 病例在公立和私立机构中均匀分布，并且观察到物质消费与 AEA 之间存在高度显著的关系。得出了用于 AEA 的逻辑回归模型。因此，根据社会人口学数据和在墨西哥人群中验证的可靠工具，构建了一个具有高度 AEA 的特征描述，可以将其用作筛查和二级预防工具，以设计公共卫生计划。
