Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the symptoms of eating disorders in a non-clinical sample of obese patients attending a University Hospital of Belém-PA. It consisted of a transversal and descriptive study. There were had 51 obese participants (ages 20-76), of whom 21 male and 30 female. Participants are evaluated using the three specific scales of the Eating Disorders Inventory-3 (EDI-3). There was a greater risk for eating disorders in participants of greater weight (p ≤ 0.001) and height (p = 0.002). The diagnosis of moderate risk of eating disorder is more dominant in women and displays high risk in men (p <0.001). Obese men more presented to risk behaviors related to perceptions of their body shapes and concerns about diet and weight. It is recommended the development of a specific instrument for individuals with obesity and the performance of studies on the eating behavior of this group, including the possible risk factors involved, contributing to the advancement of care to these patients.
