Abstract

Background: The present investigation counted on a non-experimental transverse design with a type of descriptive correlational study. Its objective was to determine the relationship between anxiety and depression factors and the risks of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa; also know if the age is related to the risk of suffering from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Methods: The population was confirmed by an equiprobabilistic sample of n = 190 women from 11 to 18 years of age (M = 14.11, SD = 1.73) of the “Particular Educative Catholic Cathedra de Cuenca” selected by a stratified monoethapic conglomerate sampling design using the Epidat 4.2 software. The instruments used were the Food Attitude Test (EAT-40) and the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Test. The data were analyzed in the statistical package SPSS 24.0. Results: The results show that there is no statistically significant association between the risks of anorexia and bulimia nervosa with anxiety and depression factors, as well as age.
