Background
Eating behavior is defined as "responses behavioral associated with the act
of feed, way or ways of feeding patterns rhythmic feed. This kind of behavior
is influenced by social, demographic and cultural conditions, by individual
perception and food, for experiences previous and the nutritional status.
Among these factors, the sociocultural impact on the standard food and the
development of eating disorders has been studied more frequently if
evaluating family customs and information provided by mass media.
According to Dalle Grave, Calugi, Doll and Fairburn (2013), in the line of
recent research, the percentage of adolescent women who initially present a
potential risk of some form of the disorder Aliment action lies in 17.3% of the
sample studied, against 0.6% in adolescent males. On the other hand,
adolescents who show greater own symptoms of Eating Disorders, also more
dissatisfied with their own body image associated. They lack, however,
collect data to know what, exactly, the cultural elements linked to the
recovery of the body. It also demonstrates the kind of cultural tyranny that
has victimized people feel dissatisfied with own body.
According to Ferguson, Munoz, Garza and Galindo (2014), children and
adolescents with anorexia have a distorted body image. People with anorexia
see themselves as overweight even when they are dangerously thin. They
are obsessed with being thin and refuse to maintain a normal weight, even
minimally. In accordance of Fisher, Rosen, Crnstein, Mammel, Katzman,
Rome, Callahan, Malizio, Kearney and Walsh (2014), children and adolescents
with anorexia, young people with bulimia also fear weight gain and feel
extremely unhappy with their bodies. But often the child or adolescent feels
a loss of control. In order to feel disgusted and ashamed after overeating,
young people try to avoid weight gain by vomiting induction or use of
laxatives, diet pills and diuretics. After vomiting the food, they are relieved
(Micali, Ploubidis, Stavola, Simonoff and Treasure, 2014).
Several changes in appetite and body image disorders may occur in children
of school age, although the most typical pictures of eating disorders are rare.
Although about 45% of children of both sexes in school age want to be
thinner and 37% try to lose weight, 6 only a small proportion of them
develop an eating disorder (Rohde, Stice and Marti, 2015). It is noteworthy,
however, that some features present in the school age are considered risk
factors for the onset of eating disorders in adolescence, prompting the health
professional who helps children to recognize and investigate these traits
(Dahlmann, Dempfle, Konrad, Klasen and Sieberer, 2015).
Children face difficulty in eating which leads to a weight loss or failure to gain
weight appropriately, starting out before the age of six years. According to
Dahlmann et.al (2015), the symptoms appear to be due to any general
medical condition, to another disorder psychiatric or lack of food. The main
goal of treatment is to improve the nutritional status of the patient. It should
undertake an assessment of parents and psychosocial factors that are
contributing to the development and maintenance problem (Smink, Hoeken
and Hoek, 2012).
