Abstract

Objective. To conduct comprehensive research on the psychological traits, body composition and actual nutritional status of 10-year-old girls with eating disorders. Patients and methods. The study included 10-year-old girls who volunteered to participate. The FEV-II Questionnaire, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used to examine the types of eating behaviour. Body composition was assessed by the bioimpedance analyser АВС-01 «Medass». The method of frequency analysis was used to assess actual nutrition with the computer program «Analysis of human nutritional status». Results. The eating behaviour of 10-year-old girls was assessed as harmonious in half of cases (49%). 1/5 of girls have external (18%) and restriction (22%) eating disorders, 11% are emotional types. According to the Spielberger inventory, girls with external and emotional eating behaviours scored higher on the trait anxiety subscale, and girls with emotional eating had higher state anxiety scores. A higher energy value of diets was characteristic for girls with external eating. A risk of developing emotional eating disorder has been shown for children who have higher scores not only on the trait anxiety but also on the state anxiety subscales. A likelihood of developing restriction eating disorder has been demonstrated for endomorphic children. Key words: bioimpedance analysis, personality traits, eating behaviour, actual nutrition
