Youth is a particularly vulnerable time for the confluence of these variables, which may impact the severity of gambling disorders (GD). However, sex differences have hardly been explored. This study aimed, firstly, to explore the frequency of GD among young people, as well as the presence of GD with other comorbid addictions. Secondly, latent classes were examined on the basis of gambling risk and their relationship to other addictive behaviors, alexithymia and stressful life events. Thirdly, we analyzed whether class membership was predicted by sex and age. The sample was composed of 360 participants between the ages of 18 and 35, the majority female. The results obtained revealed that alcohol abuse was the most prevalent addictive behavior both for problem and non-problem gamblers of both sexes. Group membership analyses showed the presence of two latent classes based on gambling risk. One of them was characterized by gambling risk, comorbidity, alexithymia, and stressful life events, and mainly predicted by being male. The other model was characterized by no gambling risk, lower levels of stressful life events and alexithymia, and mainly predicted by being female. This second profile presents a risk of alcohol abuse and compulsive buying. We highlight the need to introduce a gender perspective both in the interpretation of research findings and in the clinical application of treatments.\u00a0CAST:\u00a0La comorbilidad, la alexitimia y los acontecimientos vitales estresantes desempe\u00f1an un papel importante en la salud mental de los j\u00f3venes. Este estudio ha tenido como objetivo, en primer lugar, explorar la frecuencia del trastorno de juego (TJ) en los j\u00f3venes, as\u00ed como la presencia del TJ\u00a0 con otras adicciones com\u00f3rbidas. En segundo lugar, se pretend\u00eda analizar un modelo de perfil basado en el riesgo de juego y su relaci\u00f3n con las otras conductas adictivas, la alexitimia y los acontecimientos vitales estresantes. En tercer lugar, se analiz\u00f3 si la pertenencia a cada perfil era predicha por el sexo y la edad. La muestra estaba compuesta por 360 participantes. Los resultados obtenidos revelaron que el abuso de alcohol era la conducta adictiva m\u00e1s prevalente tanto para los jugadores problem\u00e1ticos como para los no problem\u00e1ticos de ambos sexos. Los an\u00e1lisis de pertenencia de clase mostraron la presencia de dos modelos de perfil de juego. El primeor de ellos se caracterizaba por el riesgo de juego, la comorbilidad, la alexitimia y los acontecimientos vitales estresantes, y estaba principalmente predicho por la condici\u00f3n sexo-var\u00f3n. El otro modelo se caracteriza por la ausencia de riesgo de juego, niveles m\u00e1s bajos de acontecimientos vitales estresantes y alexitimia, y se predice principalmente por ser mujer.\u00a0 En este segundo perfil hay riesgo de abuso de alcohol y de compra compulsiva. Destacamos la necesidad de introducir una perspectiva de g\u00e9nero tanto en la interpretaci\u00f3n de los resultados de la investigaci\u00f3n como en la aplicaci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica de los tratamientos.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.20882\/adicciones.1838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,19]],"date-time":"2025-02-19T11:52:06Z","timestamp":1739965926000},"page":"347-358","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Latent classes of gambling in youths: The role of comorbidity, alexithymia and stressful life events by sex"],"prefix":"10.20882","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"Mac\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Jauregui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iciar","family":"Iruarrizaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Herrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Est\u00e9vez Guti\u00e9rrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"8502","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]]},"container-title":["Adicciones"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/adicciones.es\/index.php\/adicciones\/article\/download\/1838\/1417","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/adicciones.es\/index.php\/adicciones\/article\/download\/1838\/1417","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,20]],"date-time":"2025-02-20T11:52:09Z","timestamp":1740052329000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/adicciones.es\/index.php\/adicciones\/article\/view\/1838"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.20882\/adicciones.1838","relation":{},"ISSN":["0214-4840"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0214-4840"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,30]]}}}
