Adolescents are vulnerable to body image dissatisfaction (BID) and eating disorder, and this vulnerability might differ among females and males. Information about gender differences in prevalence and determinants of body image dissatisfaction and eating disorder in Nepalese adolescents is largely unknown. Therefore, we carried out to examine the gender difference in prevalence and determinants of eating disorder among adolescents in Kathmandu, Nepal. Two hundred and thirty nine adolescents aged 15 to 19 were invited to fill the self-administrable questionnaire. Almost, 71% of females had positive BID and 14% of females had negative BID. Whereas, 12% of males had positive BID and 60% had negative BID. The prevalence of eating disorder was 29% in females and 16% in males. Exposure to media determined BID and as such increased risk of eating disorder in both females and males. BMI was positively associated with BID in females and negatively associated with BID in males. Body esteem was also identified as a determinant of BID in females. It is recommended that awareness programs through different mass media about negative effects of eating disorder should be stipulated.

ABSTRACT Amaç: Beden imajı memnuniyetsizliği ve hatalı beden ağırlığı algısı tüm dünyada ergenler arasında artmaktadır. Nepal gibi ekonomik ve besinsel açıdan gelişmekte olan ülkelerde durum daha belirgindir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Nepal, Kaski bölgesinde ergenlerin beden imaj memnuniyetleri, beden ağırlık algıları ve obezite bilgilerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Kesitsel bu araştırma Nepal'in Kaski bölgesindeki 12 okuldan çok aşamalı küme örneklemesi ile seçilmiş 838 ergen ile çalışılmıştır. Veri toplama Ekim-Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında antropometrik değerlendirmeler ve kendi kendine uygulanan soru formlarından oluşan gereçler ile yapılmıştır. Veriler Dünya Sağlık Örgütü anthroplus yazılımı v.1.0.4 ve SPSS v. 16. ile işlenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar: Ergenlerin çoğunluğunun (630 kişi, %75,2) beden imajından memnun olduğu, 208 (%24,8) ergenin ise memnun olmadığı saptanmıştır. Beden imajı memnuniyeti normal beden kitle indeksine sahip grupta 509 (%79,3), zayıf gruba göre daha yiksekti (86 (%67,2). Kilolu ergenlerin yarıdan fazlası (27, %55,1) kendini normal olarak algılar iken 19(%38,8) kilolu ve 3 (%6,1) obez olarak algılıyordu. Ergenlerin çoğunluğunun doğru obezite bilgisi olmasına karşın, obezite bilgisi ile beden imajı algısı arasında ilişki bulunmadı. Tartışma: Ergenler arasında beden imajı memnuniyeti yüksek bulundu. Kilolu ve obezler beden ağırlıklarını düşük algılamaktadırlar. Davranış değişikliği ve düzenli antropometrik ölçüm değerlendirmelerine odaklanan müdahaleler önemlidir.

Studies in developed countries have shown a relationship between body image dissatisfaction (BID) in adolescents and eating disorders. The prevalence of BID in several countries has been reported to be 10-75% in male teenagers and 24-90% in female teenagers, but there is limited data from developing countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of BID in adolescents in an urban city of Indonesia, nutritional status as a risk factor for BID, and unhealthy eating habits caused by BID. This was a crosssectional study conducted from August until November 2020 involving students aged 15 to 18 years old from selected high schools in Jakarta. The questionnaire to collect anthropometric data, body dissatisfaction scale (BDS), and eating habits was shared via an electronic link. There were 154 subjects (47.1%) suffered from BID and most of them wanted to be thinner. Higher body mass index (BMI) was the most significant factor correlated with BID, with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.8 (1.777-4.471). There was a significant but weakly positive correlation (p = 0.044; r = 0.112) between BID score and eating habit score, indicating that the more subjects wanted to be thinner, the healthier their eating habits were. The prevalence of BID in the adolescent population in Jakarta was high. Since BID was significantly associated with higher BMI, weight control programs in adolescents should not be weight labelling and body image friendly.
