Updated population prevalences of risk eating behaviors (REB) in adolescents were reported. The study found 1.6% of adolescents are at risk, with higher prevalence in females and urban areas.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Adolescent Health

Context:

  • Risk eating behaviors (REB) are a growing concern among adolescents.
  • Previous studies often relied on non-probabilistic samples, limiting generalizability.
  • Updated, representative data are crucial for understanding the scope of REB in Mexico.

Purpose:

  • To report updated population prevalences of risk eating behaviors (REB) in Mexican adolescents.
  • To analyze REB prevalence across different demographic groups: age, sex, socioeconomic status, locality type, and region.
  • To provide data for public health interventions and policy development.

Summary:

  • A total of 3,547 adolescents participated in the 2022 National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut 2022).
  • The brief questionnaire on risk eating behaviors (CBCAR) and sociodemographic data were utilized.

  • Overall, 1.6% of adolescents were identified as being at risk for an eating disorder.

    • Impact:

    • The findings highlight that 2.0% of females and 1.2% of males are at risk.
    • Prevalence was higher in adolescents aged 14–19 years (2.3%), urban areas (2.1%), the central region (2.9%), and the third quintile of well-being (3.1%).
    • These results underscore the importance of continuous monitoring of REB through representative national surveys like Ensanut to capture the diversity of the Mexican population.
