Therefore, the overall objective of this study was to determine the percentage of variance explained by alexithymia body dissatisfaction in 175 women diagnosed with eating disorder with a mean age of 19.82 years, of which 57 were diagnosed with anorexia, 55 with bulimia and 63 eating disorder not specified. Participants completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and Body Image Questionnaire. The results show that 7 out of 10 and 6 out of 10 participants had alexithymia and body dissatisfaction, respectively. In addition, it was found that the variables are associated significantly. Finally, it was found that alexithymia explains 39% of the variance in body dissatisfaction, increasing the percentage (45%) to particularly consider the difficulty in identifying emotions. Therefore, it is concluded that alexithymia significantly influences on body dissatisfaction, and thus may act as a risk factor for development in diseases such as anorexia and bulimia. Resumen La literatura ha evidenciado la relacion existente entre alexitimia e insatisfaccion corporal con los trastornos alimentarios. Sin embargo, poco se sabe acerca de la relacion entre estas variables, particularmente en mujeres con trastornos alimentarios. Por lo anterior, el objetivo general del presente estudio fue determinar el porcentaje de varianza de insatisfaccion corporal explicada por alexitimia en 175 mujeres diagnosticadas con trastorno alimentario con promedio de edad de 19.82 anos, de las cuales 57 fueron diagnosticadas con anorexia 55 con bulimia y 63 con trastorno alimentario no especificado. Las participantes respondieron la Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto y el Cuestionario de Imagen Corporal. Los resultados senalan que 7 de cada 10 y 6 de cada 10 participantes presentaban alexitimia e insatisfaccion corporal, respectivamente. Asi mismo, se encontro que las variables estan asociadas significativamente. Finalmente, se encontro que la alexitimia explica el 39% de la varianza en insatisfaccion corporal, incrementando el porcentaje (45%) al considerar particularmente la Dificultad para identificar emociones. Por lo anterior, se concluye que la alexitimia influye significativamente sobre la insatisfaccion corporal, y en consecuencia puede actuar como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo en enfermedades como anorexia y bulimia.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
