The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on weight, shape-related appearance behaviors (body image dissatisfaction), and bulimic symptoms in nonclinical participants is poorly evaluated. This study aimed to identify the relationship between labor status, confinement degree due to COVID-19, dissatisfaction with body image, and anxiety and to discover its effect on bulimic behavior in Mexican adults.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 276 participants via an online survey. Questions addressed their anxiety, body image dissatisfaction, and bulimic behavior.
The path analysis showed direct effects on the confinement degree ( = -0.157); of the labor situation ( = -0.147) and gender ( = 0.129) on anxiety; of dissatisfaction on bulimic behavior ( = 0.443) and anxiety about bulimic behavior ( = 0.184); and dissatisfaction ( = 0.085).
The confinement, gender, and labor status are predictors of anxiety, while anxiety and body dissatisfaction directly influence bulimic behavior.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对非临床参与者的体重、与体型相关的外表行为（身体形象不满）和暴食症状的潜在影响评估不足。本研究旨在确定劳动状况、因COVID-19导致的限制程度、身体形象不满与焦虑之间的关系，并发现其对墨西哥成年人暴食行为的影响。
通过在线调查对276名参与者的非概率样本进行了横断面研究。问题涉及他们的焦虑、身体形象不满和暴食行为。
路径分析显示，限制程度（=-0.157）、劳动状况（=-0.147）和性别（=0.129）对焦虑有直接影响；不满对暴食行为（=0.443）和暴食行为焦虑（=0.184）有直接影响；以及不满（=0.085）。
限制、性别和劳动状况是焦虑的预测因素，而焦虑和身体不满直接影响暴食行为。
