classified in DSM V (APA, 2013) as specific disorders.
Objective: To compare the prevalence of risky eating behaviors
suggestive of Eating Disorders in adolescents from a municipality in the city of Caracas in two samples taken in different years
(NA: 2012 vs NB: 2018).
Material and method: The participants came from six (6) educational institutes of Caracas; they were
evaluated with the EAT-26 questionnaire (Ntotal = 933; NA = 311; 40.51% men; 59.49% women); (NB = 622; 40.51% men;
59.49% women), average age NA = 16.88 years and NB = 14.88 years. Nonparametric comparisons were made using the Mann-
Whittney U test.
Results: A prevalence of eating disorders was observed (for EAT-26 ≥ 20) of 6.4%, (year 2012) and 15.3%
(year 2018), as well as statistically significant differences in the total scores of the EAT-26 for the Bulimia and Oral Control
factors, but not for Diet; and for total score and Oral Control; significant differences were only observed in two (2) of the six
