Resumen
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo comparar el riesgo de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en estudiantes de sexto grado de dos instituciones educativas de Chiclayo, una pública y una privada, así como analizar dicho riesgo según el sexo y la convivencia con los padres. La variable principal fue el riesgo de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, entendido como la presencia de actitudes y comportamientos alimentarios disfuncionales en población infantil. Se empleó un diseño no experimental, comparativo y de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 100 estudiantes de entre 11 y 12 años (M = 11.7; DE = 0.47), de los cuales 56 fueron niñas y 44 niños, seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico intencional. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó una encuesta basada en el instrumento “Detección de trastornos alimentarios en niños: adaptación lingüística y conceptual del Children's Eating Attitudes Test (CHEAT)”, compuesto por 26 ítems con escala tipo Likert. Los resultados obtenidos mediante la prueba t de Student mostraron diferencias significativas entre ambas instituciones educativas. El colegio privado presentó un 25.5% de riesgo, mientras que en el colegio público fue del 2%. Asimismo, los varones del colegio privado mostraron mayor riesgo, al igual que los estudiantes que viven con sus padres. Se concluyó que el riesgo fue significativamente mayor en la institución privada, evidenciando la necesidad de fortalecer la detección temprana en población infantil.
The present study aimed to compare the risk of eating behavior disorders among sixth-grade students from two educational institutions in Chiclayo, one public and one private, as well as to analyze this risk according to sex and living arrangements with parents. The main variable was the risk of eating behavior disorders, understood as the presence of dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviors in the child population. A non-experimental, comparative, cross-sectional design was employed. The sample consisted of 100 students aged between 11 and 12 years (M = 11.7; SD = 0.47), of whom 56 were girls and 44 were boys, selected through non-probabilistic intentional sampling. Data were collected using a survey based on the instrument “Detection of eating disorders in children: linguistic and conceptual adaptation of the Children’s Eating Attitudes Test (CHEAT),” composed of 26 items with a Likerttype scale. The results obtained through Student’s t-test showed significant differences between the two educational institutions. The private school presented a 25.5% risk, whereas the public school showed a 2% risk. Likewise, male students from the private school exhibited higher risk, as did students who live with their parents. It is concluded that the risk of eating behavior disorders was significantly higher in the private institution, highlighting the need to strengthen early detection strategies in the child population.
