Body Image and Dysmorphia Studies

Among a sample of Native American/American Indian women, this study explored the linear relationship of historical loss, acculturation, racism, and emotional distress to binge‐eating behavior and level of obesity as determined by body mass index. Emotional distress, experiences of racism, and feelings about historical loss were significantly related to binge‐eating behaviors, with emotional distress being the most significant predictor. Este estudio exploró entre Indios Americanos la relación linear de la pérdida histórica, la aculturación, el racismo y la angustia emocional con el comportamiento de atracones compulsivos y la obesidad, determinada por el índice de masa corporal. La angustia emocional, las experiencias de racismo y los sentimientos de pérdida histórica estuvieron significativamente relacionados con los comportamientos de atracones compulsivos, siendo la angustia emocional el vaticinador más significativo.
