Eating disorders (ED) are serious conditions that have diverse consequences, associated with high morbidity and mortality: Among the factors associated with their development are, being female, and stress, which increased during the pandemic, and was higher in medical students. Our objective was to identify the prevalence and factors associated with ED in medical students.
Cross-sectional study, conducted with an online questionnaire, between January 1 and 31, 2021, in 22 universities, using the Eating Disorder Scale (EAT-26) and the Family Communication Scale (FCS). Generalized logistic regressions were used to identify the association between variables.
A total of 1224 participants were recruited, and the prevalence was 12.5%. Associated factors included a poor perception of health in 34.3%, having a family and/or social environment member with an eating disorder in 21.7%, and medium or low satisfaction with family communication in 57.3% and 34.9% respectively, in addition to the academic year, dieting, concern for body image and the perception of inadequate eating.
Our results show that, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, 1-2 out of 10 Human Medicine students had an ED. The associated factors that influenced development of the condition included a fair or poor perception of health, the academic year completed, and medium or low satisfaction with family communication.
饮食失调是严重的疾病，会产生多种后果，与高发病率和死亡率相关：在其发展相关因素中，有女性身份以及压力，而压力在疫情期间有所增加，且在医学生中更高。我们的目的是确定医学生中饮食失调的患病率及相关因素。
于2021年1月1日至31日期间，在22所大学通过在线问卷进行横断面研究，使用饮食失调量表（EAT - 26）和家庭沟通量表（FCS）。采用广义逻辑回归来确定变量之间的关联。
共招募了1224名参与者，患病率为12.5%。相关因素包括34.3%的人对健康感知较差，21.7%的人有家庭成员和/或社会环境成员患有饮食失调症，57.3%和34.9%的人分别对家庭沟通中度或低度满意，此外还包括学年、节食、对身体形象的关注以及对饮食不足的感知。
我们的结果表明，在新冠疫情背景下，每10名医学生中有1至2人患有饮食失调症。影响该疾病发展的相关因素包括对健康的一般或较差感知、已完成的学年以及对家庭沟通的中度或低度满意。
