The aim of this study was to assess eating behaviours and attitudes in a community sample of 615 adolescent Mexican students recruited at a middle school (192 boys and 226 girls; mean age +/- standard deviation 13.56+/-0.09) and high school (90 boys and 107 girls; mean age 16.04+/-0.12 years), who completed the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), the Bulimia Test (BULIT) and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Multiple analysis of variance revealed the significant effect of gender on the negative feelings, body dissatisfaction, drive of thinness and perceived social pressure subscales, and school level on the body dissatisfaction and food preoccupation subscales. Among the high school girls, the gender x school level interaction had a significant effect on negative feelings, body dissatisfaction, drive of thinness, food preoccupation and perceived social pressure subscales. These data support previous findings concerning gender, and also suggest that perceived social pressure in the case of girls and food preoccupation in the case of boys could be important factors in the natural development of eating disorders.
本研究旨在评估 615 名墨西哥青少年社区样本的饮食行为和态度，这些青少年在一所中学（192 名男生和 226 名女生；平均年龄 +/- 标准差 13.56+/-0.09）和高中（90 名男生和 107 名女生；平均年龄 16.04+/-0.12 岁）被招募，他们完成了饮食态度测试（EAT）、贪食症测试（BULIT）和身体形状问卷（BSQ）。多元方差分析显示，性别对负面情绪、身体不满、消瘦驱动和感知社会压力子量表有显著影响，学校水平对身体不满和食物关注子量表有显著影响。在高中女生中，性别 x 学校水平的交互作用对负面情绪、身体不满、消瘦驱动、食物关注和感知社会压力子量表有显著影响。这些数据支持了之前关于性别差异的研究结果，同时也表明，在女孩中感知到的社会压力，以及在男孩中食物关注，可能是饮食失调自然发展的重要因素。
