ABSTRACT

Objective. To analyze the association between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and disordered eating (DE). Material and methods. A probabilistic sample of 2,358 female high school students of public schools in the Estado de Mexico was used. Results. DE was more prevalent among CSA sufferers (p ≤ 0.05). Preoccupation with gaining weight, binging and restrictive behaviors were associated to CSA (p ≤ 0.05). The probability of DE was 7 times higher when the CSA experience had not been revealed and 36 times when CSA happened before 14 years of age. Conclusions. The association between CSA and DE is clear in the sample studied, as well as with some of its specific characteristics, which highlights the need to deepen in this research field and to incorporate the evaluation of CSA and its consequences in adolescents’ mental health.
