Objective: To determine the frequency of the muscle dysmorphia among a body builders group. Methodology: a descriptive, exploratory transversal study with a convenience sample. Information gathered with the “muscle dysmorphia inventory” questionnaire, which allowed detecting the distortion presence; and through a predesigned questionnaire the socio-demographic and anthropometric variables were investigated. An univariate analysis was done (proportions, means and standard deviation) and a bivariate to compare proportions using the Chi², with a significance of p<0,05. Results : 50 competitive body builders from the Aburrá Valley were included, with an average age of 29,7 years (SD ± 8,5) and a body mass index average of 27,8 (SD ± 3,7). The muscle dysmorphia frequency was of 52%, with high proportions of body image concerns (50%), restricted diet (40%), use of supplements and exercise dependence (34%) and use or abuse of pharmacological substances (58%); and low physical appearance hiding behavior frequency (8%). Conclusions: High muscle dysmorphia prevalence was found among the body builders group, without significant statistical differences observed on muscle dysmorphia neither by BMI, age, educational level, socio-economical level nor by physical appearance hiding behaviors and use or abuse of pharmacological substances. 2015 artículo científico 1900-2351 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=607866462005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6078 Revista Politécnica application/pdf Politécnico Colombiano Jaime Isaza Cadavid Revista Politécnica (Colombia) Num.20 Vol.11 |
