摘要：Eating disorders are an emerging problem, especially adolescence is a delicate phase of life. In aesthetic athletes, sport specifics factors play an important role in developing eating disorders. The primary goal of study was to compare the prevalence of risk of eating disorders among athletes and non-athletes and secondary to observe the differences in body composition and eating habits. A total of 167 girls and 164 boys, aged 15 – 17 years completed a sick, control, onestone, fat, food (SCOFF) questionnaire for detecting risk for eating disorders. Weight and body composition were measured using a bioelectrical impedance machine. Overall, 34,1 % of athletes and 39,8 % of controls were classified as at risk for eating disorders with higher prevalence among girls and no differences between athletes and non-athletes. There were no significant differences in body composition between at-risk and no risk group, but average values shows tendency in percentage of fat and muscle mass. Skipping breakfast can increase risk of eating disorders. These finding demonstrate that not only BMI, but also specific body composition parameters should be studied in the future when identifying at-risk groups for eating disorders and skipping breakfast can lead to eating disorders which are expressed as low body mass.
其他摘要：Motnje hranjenja so rastoč problem, predvsem v času adolescence, ki je kritično obdobje razvoja. Športniki v estetskih športih so še toliko bolj podvrženi tveganju zaradi posebnih zahtev samega športa. Namen raziskave je bil primerjati prevalenco tveganja za nastanek motenj hranjenja med estetskimi športniki in njihovimi netreniranimi sovrstniki ter ugotoviti razliko v sestavi telesa ter prehranjevalnih navadah med skupinami s tveganjem in brez tveganja za motnje hranjenja. Vzorec je sestavljalo 167 deklet in 164 fantov, starih med 15 in 17 let. Prisotnost tveganja za motnje hranjenja je bila ocenjena s SCOFF vprašalnikom, telesna sestava in masa sta bili izmerjeni z bioimpedančno napravo. Pri 34,1 % športnikov in 39,8 % sovrstnikov je bilo zabeleženo tveganje za motnje hranjenja, z značilno večjo prevalenco med dekleti in neznačilnimi razlikami med športniki in kontrolno skupino. Sestava telesa se med skupino s tveganjem in brez ni značilno razlikovala, kljub nakazani tendenci, da imata delež maščobne in mišične mase vpliv na tveganje za motnje hranjenja. Izpuščanje zajtrka povečuje tveganje za motnje hranjenja. Rezultati nakazujejo, da je pri nadaljnjih raziskavah potrebno upoštevati tudi specifične parametre telesne sestave in ne le indeks telesne mase ter da lahko izpuščanje zajtrka vodi tudi v motnje hranjenja, ki so izražene kot prenizka telesna masa.
