Abstract(s)
As basic human needs, diet and sexuality depend on the
connections of multiple systems (muscular, neuro-endocrine, metabolic
and reproductive), as well as aspects related to emotions, feelings and
pleasure.
Methods: A transversal, exploratory and quantitative, descriptive and correlational
study. The instruments for data collection were the following: a
questionnaire to describe the participants, the Index of Sexual Satisfaction
(ISS) and the Binge Eating Scale (BES), both of which were translated and
adapted to the Portuguese population. The statistical analysis was carried
out with the statistics software program SPSS, version 23.
Results: The results of the descriptive analysis show a sample of 306 patients,
of which 69.3% are female and 30.7% are male, witb ages ranging
from 18 to 64 years old. The study shows that the Binge Eating Scale (BES)
is divided into three levels, with 219 respondents (71.6% of the sample)
who are non-binging, followed by 49 patients (16% of the sample) with
moderate binge and finally, in smaller numbers, 38 patients (12.4% of
the sample) with severe binging. Furthermore, the study shows that even
those with a BMI in the healthy weight range (4.5% and 1.5% in this category)
show a moderate BES and a severe BES respectively.The correlational
analysis confirmed the existence of a statistically significant (p ,205;
α ,000) positive correlation between the sexual satisfaction of the sample
and lhe level of binge eating. Furthermore, there was a highly significant
statistical correlation between the BES, ISS and BMI variables, with a triangulation
effect.
Conclusion; This study demonstrates that people with normal weight or
with an apparently "normal" profile can in fact show binge eating behaviors.
In the study related to the level of Sexual Satisfaction (SS) of patients
on difterent scales ofthe Boáy Mass Index (IMC), lhe average rate of ISS
increases with the degree of obesity, indicating that these groups are dissatisfied
with their sexuality, which increases with the level of BMI.
