Abstract(s)
A compulsão alimentar (CAP) é mais frequentemente associada a indivíduos obesos
e com excesso de peso. Todavia, estudos apontam que indivíduos com peso normal
apresentam igualmente episódios de CAP.
Foi elaborado um estudo exploratório de caracter quantitativo, com o objetivo
de conhecer a relação entre Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e CAP, envolvendo uma
amostra de 306 pessoas de ambos os géneros com diferentes categorias de IMC (0,3%
da amostra com baixo peso, 21,9% com peso normal, 23,5% com pré-obesidade, 31,4%
apresentando Obesidade Grau I, 14,1% obesidade Grau II e 8,8% Obesidade Grau III). Os
dados foram recolhidos através da Escala de Compulsão Alimentar Periódica (ECAP),
em 4 hospitais do norte e centro do pais.
Na totalidade da amostra foram encontrados 219 (71,6%) indivíduos sem CAP, 49
(16,0%) com CAP Moderada e ainda 38 (12,4%) pacientes com CAP Grave.
Corroborando a literatura nesta área, o estudo descritivo das variáveis em estudo,
revelou que todos os grupos de Categorias de IMC - excetuando um sujeito de baixo
peso – apresentam comportamentos de CAP. Verificou-se que quanto maior é o nível
de IMC maior é o número de sujeitos com CAP do tipo compulsivo, facto considerado
pertinente para novas investigações nesta população de obesos.
Os resultados revelam a necessidade de Educação nutricional e redobrada vigilância,
ao nível da população com CAP.
Binge eating disorder (BED) is more often associated with overweight and obese individuals. Nevertheless, scientific studies show that individuals with normal weight also experience compulsive overeating episodes. An exploratory research study of quantitative nature was drawn in order to understand the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and binge eating disorder, involving a sampling of 306 individuals of both genders with different BMI classifications (0.3% of the sample size was underweight, 21.9% normal weight, 23.5% pre-obese, 31.4% obese class I, 14.1% obese class II and 8.8% obese class III). Data were collected through the Binge Eating Scale (BES) in four hospitals from the north and centre regions of the country. In the entire sample, 219 (71.6%) individuals reveals no binge eating problems, 49 (16.0%) participants reveal moderate binge eating problems and 38 (12.4%) individuals reveal severe binge eating problems. Corroborating the scientific literature in this field, the descriptive study of the variables under study, showed that all BMI classifications – excepting an individual of low weight – experience binging behaviours. It was observed the higher the BMI classification is, the higher the number of individuals with compulsive overeating becomes, which should be considered relevant for further investigation in this obese population. The study results reveal the need for nutrition education and heightened surveillance, regarding the population with binge eating disorder.
