Abstract
Background: The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of bullying and risk behaviors for eating disorders in Mexican schoolchildren in 5th and 6th grade. Whose results contribute to the online program that will be designed for its prevention. Methods: A sample of 3,641 Mexican schoolchildren between 9-14 years old was obtained. To whom, the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey and the CBCAR, a questionnaire designed and validated in Mexican adolescents were applied to evaluate risk behaviors to eating disorders. The online survey was applied, with the format of the "NutriNet" program of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubiran (INCMYNSZ), protocol with the approval of the committees of the Institute and the General Hospital of Mexico. Results: A higher incidence of presenting risky eating behaviors was observed in schoolchildren who are bullied both in abusive schoolchildren and in schoolchildren who participate in fights, observing a statistically significant difference (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: Bullying is a risk factor for developing an eating disorder.
