Abstract

Introduction: The eating disorders (ED) are psychological distress responsible for causing negative effects with how the individuals see themselves. They are classified in two main categories: Anorexia and Bulimia. Researchers show that students from Health field, practitioners of sport, dancers are more predisposed to the ED development.
Goal: to identify on literature corporal dissatisfaction in dancers and their associated factors relating them to eating disorders development.
Methodology: Through the LILACS, BVS and MEDLINE databases, studies from the past ten years on dissatisfaction with body image and the development of Eating Disorders were gathered. For the search, health descriptors such as Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa and Dance.
Results and discussion: On the results, it was viewed that the corporal dissatisfaction is categorically present in the lives of the dancers, once it showed present in 80 % of the analysed articles. Critical comments, expectation put by society and the coach’s opinion are related factors for the dissatisfaction with the body.

Introduction

Eating Disorders (ED) are psychological disorders responsible for causing negative effects on the way people see themselves, that is, it is a problem that interferes with the self perception of body image [1]. They can be classified into two main categories: Nervous Anorexia (NA) and Nervous Bulimia (NB) [2].

Nervous Anorexia is responsible for 20% of the deaths of all people who live with it. In addition, it may be responsible for several manifestations in the individual’s body, such as cerebral atrophy, amenorrhea, cardiac arrhythmia, anemia, osteoporosis and gingivitis [3]. Patients with nervous bulimia are more susceptible to low blood pressure, irritability, insomnia, muscle hypotonia and loss of sexual interest [4].

At risk groups are university students in health courses, sportspeople who value low weight, such as gymnasts, and dance practitioners who suffer from aesthetic influence [5]. In dancers there is a higher demand on body image when compared to the general population [6]. In this modality, an excessive concern with body aesthetics is often associated with excessive physical activity and risky behavior to maintain pre-eliminated patterns: lean body and low percentage of fat [7].

Themes such as the risk factors for the development of Eating Disorders and the main groups to be affected, were specific in this work; thus enabling appropriate intervention by health professionals who work with the disease. The aim of this research was to identify dissatisfaction with body image in dancers in the literature and its associated factors, which is one of the most important risk factors for the development of Eating Disorders.

Theoretical Framework Food Disorders

Eating disorders (ED) are classified as psychological disorders that interfere with self-perception of body image, commonly occurring behaviors characterized by fear of gaining weight, causing the individual to develop irregularities in the way of eating, which can generate health risk, being the use of drugs that promote weight loss, exaggerated control of food and induction of vomiting after a meal is common [1]. Due to the increased incidence of Eating Disorders, they have become a public health problem [8].

The interaction of several factors can act causing the ED. The most important are the social ones, the body pattern seen by society as the ideal; the psychological, due to the propensity or presence of some behavioral disorder; and genetic because there have already been cases in the family or there is a biological propensity for that [9]. There are several types of ED, however, there are two more known disorders: nervous anorexia and nervous bulimia [2].

The International Disease Code (ICD-10) describes nervous anorexia as a disorder characterized by excessive weight loss, intentional and maintained by the patient associated with a specific psychological pathology, in which there is a fear of fat and sagging body in addition to establishing for themselves, low weight limit. Nervous Bulimia, on the other hand, is characterized by ICD-10 as an excessive concern with body weight, the individual goes through episodes of overeating followed by purgative attitudes [10]. The diagnosis of NB occurs when these behaviors occur at least twice in a week for a period of three months [11]. Young people with these disorders have a lower quality of life than those diagnosed with schizophrenia [12]. Nervous anorexia is a public health problem because it has a long clinical history and can become chronic. [13].Bulimia is usually characterized by a lack of self-control, whereas anorexia is its excess. A study by Costa-Val et al. used semi-structured interviews with health professionals, participants in Primary Care teams and Mental Health in a municipality in Minas Gerais, to get to know how workers in a health network understand bulimia and anorexia. In this study, one of the psychiatrists interviewed stated that what differentiates anorexia from bulimia is the current weight, since you can find patients who have bulimia with purgative actions and adequate weight, while people with anorexia will often find their weight below of the ideal. The most critical symptoms are related to worsening quality of life and serious damage to health [14].

Eating Disorders have a direct influence on the individual’s metabolism and nutritional status. Some of its main consequences are endocrine, gastrointestinal changes and muscle strength deficiency. The clinical problems involving Nervous Anorexia are due to malnutrition, whereas Nervous Bulimia is generally related to hydroelectrolytic disorders [14]. These disorders can affect individuals of all economic levels, varied levels of education, ethnicity and gender [16]. however the occurrence is shown to be higher in specific groups [17].

Research shows that students of health courses [18]. and sports practitioners who value a leaner body shape such as swimming and ballet are included in the risk group to develop ED[19]. With the idealization of a slim body and the influence of aesthetics on performance, dancers show a greater propensity for body image dissatisfaction and thus are also more predisposed to develop TA [10].

Food Disorders and Dance

Body image is seen as an individual’s self-interpretation of his body. This opinion is formed by the combination of cultural, social and emotional factors interacting and forming a pattern that influences the way the person sees himself [20]. Depression, low self-esteem and obsessive and perfectionist traits can be influencing factors in dissatisfaction with body image [21].

The perception of the body is related to the assessment of the individual focused on his abilities and aptitudes. When the standards imposed by society are not reached, negative relationships can be developed on the body, low self-esteem and influence on body perception [6].

The charge for standard aesthetics among dancers is higher when compared to the general population, and, when they become professionals, this charge increases, as they need to maintain the appropriate weight [6]. The body model often imposed on dancers can result in an unhealthy appearance, due to the search for the low percentage of body fat. This is a factor responsible for permanently causing concern in the dancers to maintain their body shape in the imposed standards, often using, as a method to achieve this goal, the excess of physical exercise [7].

The need for a slimmer body is evident in classical dancers, since they need lightness in the body and in their gestures, when compared to other modalities, in which the movements are characterized by freedom and the form represented by the dancers [22]. Perhaps due to this context, the body understood as ideal for ballerinas and dancers is thin and slender, however, strong and flexible. Thus, dancers can be considered a population at risk for the development of Eating Disorders such as Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa [23,24].

A patient diagnosed with Eating Disorders, who is in a serious state of health, is admitted at least once, throughout the history of the disease, in order to minimize the disturbances caused to his organisms [25]. However, despite the high number of hospitalizations during the treatment period, little is known about the conducts for its performance [26]. There is difficulty in obtaining information about the procedures adopted to treat ED in the literature and little is disclosed by the hospitals’ media about how treatment is given to patients hospitalized with this diagnosis [11].

Methodology

This is an integrative literature review, which included searching for publications from the past 10 years on Eating Disorders and their associated factors. The following databases were used in the searches: Virtual Health Library (VHL), La Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE). The descriptors used in the study, according to the DeCS were: eating disorders / eating disorders, nervous bulimia, nervous anorexia, bulimia in dancers/ bulimia and dance, ballet, eating disorders and ballet, body image and dance.

Studies published in Portuguese, English and Spanish were used. The exclusion criteria were: repeated studies, studies that showed eating habits for other populations (sportspeople, students, models) and those published more than 10 years ago.

By reading the title and then the summary, the articles were evaluated and selected and to present the most relevant information, a summary table was prepared with the following topics: title, objective, results; which facilitated the analysis of the selected articles.

Analysis and Discussion of Results

According to the search performed, using the selected descriptors, as well as the databases, a total of 244 articles were obtained. Of these, only 12 were selected for the analysis of the results. The articles were excluded according to the exclusion criteria established in the methodology. Figure 1 shows the exclusion scheme.

Transtornos alimentares e insatisfação com a imagem corporal em bailarinos

 

GUIMARÃES et al. (2014)

To determine the prevalence of risky behaviors for the development of ED and dissatisfaction with body image in the city of São Luís, Maranhão.

The eating behavior was assessed using the EAT-26 and BITE, in the self-perception of the CI the BSQ was applied.

30% of the sample proved to be susceptible to the development of AN and 40% to BN. 26.7% demonstrated some degree of body dissatisfaction and 33.7% reported using compensatory methods for weight loss.

Factors Dancers Assocate with their Body Dissatisfaction

 

DANTAS et al. (2018)

Test factors that dancers point out to be relevant to CI.

To assess body dissatisfaction, BSQ was used, abnormal eating behavior was analyzed by EAT- 26.

The teacher, with 19.4%, was the most reported reason for causing body dissatisfaction, followed by 11.7% in the uniform and 11.46% in the mirror. More than 30% of classical ballet students indicated the teacher as the biggest contributor.

The support tools for investigating signs and symptoms of Eating Disorders and dissatisfaction with body image used in the surveys were: Eating Attituddes Test-EAT, Body Shape Questionnaire- BSQ, Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh-BITE, Eating Disorders Inventory-3 (EDI -3), TFEQ-CDR subscale, Silhouette scale.

In view of the results, it is possible to observe a high prevalence of body dissatisfaction among the dancers, since the twelve selected articles had significant levels of dissatisfaction with their body image. This discontent with the body becomes one of the main risk factors for individuals to develop Eating Disorders, as well as show symptoms of these disorders. The high percentage of body dissatisfaction in the studies addressed is related, mainly to sex, dance modality, teacher and critical comments by the technician or choreographer and the public [27].

Rodrigues et al. (2017)[28] observed that women showed greater Body Dissatisfaction when compared to men, as well as Reis et al. (2013) who observed dancers with 3.8 times more chances of being dissatisfied with their bodies when compared to dancers.

Found that classical ballet dancers showed greater body dissatisfaction when compared to contemporary and Spanish dance dancers [29]. This result is different from that observed by Reis et al (2013), who presented contemporary dance as the dance modality most affected by HF and, consequently, more likely to develop ED.

When investigating what factors the dance practitioners identified as relevant to HF, [30].obtained in their results the professor and his critical comments as the main cause. When investigated which dance modality considered these comments most important, it was found that most of the answers belonged to classical ballet [31]. Obtained similar results when verifying that the choreographer and his judgments were significantly relevant to the CI present in the dancers.

In addition to the CI present in the dancers, the chances of developing AT are also frequent when compared to people who do not practice dance. [32] Realized that approximately 70% of their sample were at risk of developing ED, as well as Robbeson, Kruger and Wright (2015) who observed approximately 35% of their sample with symptoms of such disorders.

[2] when comparing the two main categories of eating disorders, observed that dancers were more likely to develop bulimia nervosa compared to nervous anorexia. The authors showed that more than 30% of the dancers used compensatory methods for weight loss and that the most frequent method was fasting for 24 hours. According to the researchers, the fact of being a dancer can be an essential factor for the development of Eating Disorders.

Conclusion

The dancers’ search for an ideal body is often the result of observations made by the people around them, that is, the public’s opinion can be considered a risk factor for the development of Eating Disorders, as well as sex, age, and the type of dance performed. This integrative literature review allows us to conclude that Body Dissatisfaction (CI) is categorically present in the daily life of dance practitioners, this dissatisfaction being one of the main factors for the development of ED.

It is convenient to carry out more studies on the subject to improve the understanding of the causes and consequences of Eating Disorders in the life of dance practitioners, so that health professionals can adopt strategic measures in prevention and / or rehabilitation health of these individuals [37-39].
