    Muscle Dysmorphia: predictive and protective factors in adolescents
    (Murcia: Servicio de publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2019) Orrit, Graciela; Pablos, A.; Guzmán, F. J.
    The Muscle Dysmorphia (MD) is a subcategory of body dysmorphic disorder in which subjects develop a pathological concern for their musculature. The population at risk that suffers from, or can develop MD, prevails in terms of age of appearance in subjects between 16 to 35 years; and it is more frequent in men. This study aimed to determine which variables of the personality, gender identity and passion (harmonious or obsessive) allow to predict MD in adolescents through the Adonis Complex (AC) Scale. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 506 subjects between 16 and 21 years (M=18.20; SD=1.72). The higher correlation was between AC and Emotional Control in men, and impulse control in women. Then a binary logistic regression analysis was performed and model yielded R2=.176 (X2=47.95 (16) <.001) and classified correctly in 88.5% of cases. Results of the analysis showed that harmonious passion (β=-.028, p=.046) and emotional control (β=-.616, p=.002) are protective variables while obsessive passion (β=.065, p=.013) and scrupulosity (β=.344, p=.046) were risk factors. The results show the importance of performing interventions aimed at the prevention of DM, starting from the relevance of working emotional control and harmonious passion in this stage of life and training.

    The association between muscle dysmorphia and eating disorder symptomatology: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (Akadémiai Kiadó, 2019-09-11) Badenes Ribera, Laura; Rubio Aparicio, María; Sánchez Meca, Julio; Fabris, Matteo Angelo; Longobardi, Claudio; Psicología Básica y Metodología
    Background and aims Research shows inconsistent findings about the link between muscle dysmorphia (MD) and eating disorder (ED) symptomatology. The aim of this study is to synthesize the scientific evidence available on this topic, the researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods The literature search enabled us to identify 39 published articles, which provided 36 independent estimations of the correlation between the two variables. Results Our analysis found a positive association between MD and ED symptoms (r+ = .36; 95% CI = 0.30, 0.41). Moderator analyses showed that the type of sample and the tools for assessing MD and ED were statistically associated with the MD–ED effect sizes. The methodological quality of the studies exhibited a positive, statistically significant association with the MD–ED effect sizes. Conclusions Higher levels of MD were related to greater ED symptomatology, but several study characteristics may moderate the association between the two variables. In this study, we discuss limitations and implications for clinical practice and future research.
