YETİŞKİNLERDE ORTOREKSİYA NERVOZA EĞİLİMLERİ İLE BEDEN MEMNUNİYETSİZLİĞİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Amaç: Bu çalışma, yetişkin bireylerin ortoreksiya nervoza eğilimleri ile beden memnuniyetsizlikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, Gaziantep’te yaşayan, 19-64 yaş arası 239 gönüllü birey üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Katılımcıların ortorektik eğilimlerini değerlendirmek için ORTO-11, beden memnuniyetsizliklerini değerlendirmek için beden şekli ölçeği (BSQ-34) kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca katılımcıların demografik özellikleri sorgulanmış ve antropometrik ölçümleri alınmıştır. ORTO-11 ölçeğinde 25 puan ve altı ortorektik eğilim olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Beden şekli ölçeğinde 80-110 puan hafif beden memnuniyetsizliğini, 111-140 puan orta derecedeki beden memnuniyetsizliğini ve 140 puan üstü ciddi beden memnuniyetsizliği olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin ORTO-11 ve BSQ-34 puan ortalamaları sırasıyla; 29,54±5,98 ve 83,20±45,46’dır. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin %27,6’sında ortorektik eğilim ve %40,6’sında beden memnuniyetsizliği (%10,9 hafif düzey, %13,4’ü orta düzey, %16,3’ü ciddi düzey) olduğu saptanmıştır. Katılımcıların ortorektik eğilimlerine göre BSQ-34 ölçek puanlarında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır (p>0,05). Ayrıca, bireylerin beden memnuniyetsizliği sınıflamasına göre ORTO-11 ölçek puanlarında anlamlı farklılık göstermemiştir. Ciddi düzey beden memnuniyetsizliği olan bireylerin vücut ağırlığı ve beden kütle indeksi beden memnuniyetsizliği olmayan bireylerden daha fazladır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, ortoreksiya nervoza eğilimi ile beden memnuniyetsizliği arasında bir ilişki olmadığını göstermektedir. Bu bulguları doğrulamak için daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir.

EVALUATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TENDENCIES OF ORTHOREXIA NERVOSA AND BODY DISSATISFACTION AMONG ADULTS

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between the tendencies of orthorexia nervosa and body dissatisfaction among adults. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 239 voluntary individuals who were aged between 19 and 64 years and residing in Gaziantep. While the ORTO-11 scale was used to assess the orthorexic tendencies of the participants, the body shape questionnaire (BSQ-34) was employed to assess their body dissatisfaction. Also the general characteristics, anthropometric measurements were collected. In ORTO11 scale, 25 points and below were considered as an orthorexic tendency. In the BSQ-34, a score between 80-110 points was classified as slight dissatisfaction, a score between 111-140 points as moderate dissatisfaction, and a score above 140 points as severe dissatisfaction. Results: ORTO-11 and BSQ-34 mean scores of the participants were 29.54±5.98 and 83.20±45.46, respectively. 27.6% of the participants had orthorexic tendencies and 40.6% had dissatisfaction (slight: 10.9%, moderate: 13.4%, severe: 16.3%). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean BSQ-34 scores of the participants based on the orthorexic tendency classification. Furthermore, according to the body dissatisfaction classification, there was no statistically significant difference between the participants’ mean ORTO-11 scores. However, the participants with severe dissatisfaction had significantly higher mean body weight and mean body mass index than those with no dissatisfaction. Conclusion: This study revealed that there was no correlation between tendency of orthorexia nervosa and body dissatisfaction. Further studies need to be conducted to verify the results
