AB  - BACKGROUND: Early detection tools for eating disorders play an essential role in 
      their prevention. The aim of this study was to analyze different variables 
      associated with the risk of eating disorders and their relation to anthropometric 
      parameters, nutritional status and body self-image. METHODS: The Eating Disorder 
      Invetory-3 Referral Form (EDI-3 RF) and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) were 
      administered to 809 adolescents (413 boys and 396 girls), aged 11 to 17 years, 
      from three randomly chosen schools in a big Mediterranean city. Anthropometric 
      measurements were taken following standardized methods. Overweight and obesity 
      were determined according to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). 
      RESULTS: Overweight (23%) prevailed over obesity (9.37%). Girls registered a 
      higher score in the Obsession for Thinness EDI-3 RF subscale and in the body 
      dissatisfaction section of the BSQ. The only statistically significant 
      differences in the Obsession for Thinness and Body Dissatisfaction levels among 
      the different ages were seen in boys. In this series, body dissatisfaction 
      assessed by the EDI-3 RF was not correlated with BSQ body dissatisfaction. Sex 
      and age in adolescence determine the relationship between eating disorder 
      attitudes and body shape dissatisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to look 
      for other parameters to investigate to determine body dissatisfaction.
