Prevalence of XXXX in a Spanish school-age population.

@entity1 @entity6426 @entity1278 @entity1277 @entity1279 @entity2588
PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of @entity1277 ( @entity1278 , @entity6426 , and partial syndromes) in students in a Madrid school district during the 1993-1994 academic period. The results were compared with those of an earlier study performed in 1985-1986 and with findings in other countries. METHODS: In the first phase, 1314 adolescents (731 @entity1 and 583 @entity1 ) with a mean age of 15.05 +/- 0.98 years were surveyed according to the @entity1277 Inventory (EDI) and a psychosocial data survey. Of these, 1281 (97.48%) [724 @entity1 (99.04%) and 557 @entity1 (95.54%)] were considered appropriate for the study. The risk population included individuals with a total EDI score over 50, plus a drive for thinness (DT) score over 10; 180 @entity1 (24.86%) and 19 @entity1 (3.41%) were identified on this basis. To reduce possible false negatives, those whose score on the @entity6426 scale was over 5, with @entity2588 of more than 3 months duration and a body mass index (weight in kilograms per height in square meters) under 18 were also considered to be at risk. The total risk population thus defined consisted of 293 adolescents (22.87%): 67 @entity1 (12.02%) and 226 @entity1 (31.21%). In the second phase, all risk subjects were reevaluated with a semistructured interview for ED, and they were also weighed and measured. In all, 156 adolescents (53.24%)[103 @entity1 (45.57%) and 53 @entity1 (79.10%)] participated in @entity1 . The remaining 137 subjects completed the interview by telephone. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-III-R diagnostic criteria were applied. RESULTS: Five @entity1 (0.69% of the total study population) fulfilled the DSM-III-R criteria for @entity1278 , and nine (1.24%), for @entity1279 . Two @entity1 (0.36%) had @entity6426 . Twenty @entity1 (2.76%) and three @entity1 (0.54%) represented partial syndromes. The results of adding the full and partial syndromes showed that 4.7% of the @entity1 and 0.9% of the @entity1 had @entity1277 . CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates an increase in the prevalence of @entity1277 in Madrid, reaching similar levels to those reported in the literature for other developed countries.
