          Abstract

          El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la relación entre el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y la imagen corporal de mujeres indígenas de Hidalgo, México. En 167 mujeres adultas (M edad = 34.45, DE = 6.76), la satisfacción/insatisfacción corporal se estimó según el IMC y la técnica parcial del marcado de imagen. El 83% de las mujeres evaluadas presentaron algún grado de insatisfacción corporal, mayormente relacionado con el deseo de adelgazar (51%) que con el de ser más robustas (32%). Las mujeres más satisfechas con su imagen corporal fueron las normopeso (21%) o con bajo peso (20%); por el contrario, las menos satisfechas fueron aquellas con obesidad (57%). Sin embargo no se identificó una asociación significativa entre el IMC y la satisfacción/insatisfacción corporal. Una de las principales aportaciones de este estudio es haber analizado la correspondencia entre dos variables poco estudiadas en mujeres adultas indígenas: el IMC y la imagen corporal, cuyos resultados fundamentan la necesidad de seguir investigando este tipo de población, así como el desarrollo de programas de prevención y de promoción de la salud específicos a grupos indígenas.

          Translated abstract

          The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and the body image of indigenous women from Hidalgo, Mexico. Body dissatisfaction/satisfaction was evaluated in 167 adult women (M age = 34.45, SD = 6.76) based on BMI and on the partial markup technique of image. The 83% of women assessed had some degree of body dissatisfaction specially related to the desire of thinness (51%) than with the desire of being robust (32%). Normal weight (21%) and low weight (20%) women were those who were more satisfied with their body image; on the contrary, women with obesity (57%) were the less satisfied. However a significant association among BMI and body satisfaction/dissatisfaction was not identified. One of the main contributions of this study was to analyze the correspondence between two little studied variables in indigenous adult women: BMI and body image. These findings strength the need to keep studying this kind of population as well as the development of preventive and promoting health programs aimed to indigenous groups.

            Risk factors for onset of eating disorders: evidence of multiple risk pathways from an 8-year prospective study.

            Use classification tree analysis with lagged predictors to determine empirically derived cut-points for identifying adolescent girls at risk for future onset of threshold, subthreshold, and partial eating disorders and test for interactions between risk factors that may implicate qualitatively distinct risk pathways. Data were drawn from a prospective study of 496 adolescent girls who completed diagnostic interviews and surveys annually for 8 years. Body dissatisfaction emerged as the most potent predictor; adolescent girls in the upper 24% of body dissatisfaction showed a 4.0-fold increased incidence of eating disorder onset (24% vs. 6%). Among participants in the high body dissatisfaction branch, those in the upper 32% of depressive symptoms showed a 2.9-fold increased incidence of onset (43% vs. 15%). Among participants in the low body dissatisfaction branch, those in the upper 12% of dieting showed a 3.6-fold increased incidence onset (18% vs. 5%). This three-way interaction suggests a body dissatisfaction pathway to eating disorder onset that is amplified by depressive symptoms, as well as a pathway characterized by self-reported dieting among young women who are more satisfied with their bodies. It may be possible to increase the effectiveness of prevention programs by targeting each of these qualitatively distinct risk groups, rather than only individuals with a single risk factor.
