These disorders have a multifactorial origin and can be associated with restrictive diets, negative feelings, harmful family relationships, and post-traumatic stress. Thus, this study\u2019s objective was to evaluate the association between indicators of eating disorders and family and school contexts in Brazilian adolescents who previously experienced sexual abuse and examine the findings based on sex. National School Health Survey data were utilized. Among 102,301 students between 11 and 19 years of age, 4124 reported having experienced sexual abuse and were included in this study. Self-report questionnaires were used to assess participants\u2019 health status and the presence of risk behaviors, which were examined through multivariate analysis using a Poisson regression model. The results indicated positive relationships between self-induced vomiting, laxative misuse, and other purgative methods and infrequent meals with family, hunger, and the presence of violence in students\u2019 daily lives, regardless of sex (p &lt; 0.05). In addition, body dissatisfaction and negative feelings about one\u2019s body were associated with having been bullied or teased by schoolmates for both sexes (p &lt; 0.05). Distant relationships with parents were associated with purgative methods and body dissatisfaction among female students (p &lt; 0.05). In conclusion, body dissatisfaction, negative feelings about one\u2019s body, laxative misuse, self-induced vomiting, and purgative methods were found to be associated with factors in family and school contexts such as hunger, infrequent meals with family, family violence, distant relationships with parents, and bullying at school in adolescents who have previously experienced sexual abuse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10081393","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,15]],"date-time":"2023-08-15T11:06:16Z","timestamp":1692097576000},"page":"1393","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Indicators of Eating Disorders in Sexually Abused Brazilian Adolescents: Family and School Contexts"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9010-5601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia Alto\u00e9","family":"Andrade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition and Health Postgraduate Program, Health Sciences Center, Federal University Espirito Santo, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1881-0306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciane Bresciani","family":"Salaroli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition and Health Postgraduate Program, Health Sciences Center, Federal University Espirito Santo, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3715-1956","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priscilla Rayanne e Silva","family":"Noll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Federal Goiano, Ceres 76300-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1482-0718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matias","family":"Noll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Federal Goiano, Ceres 76300-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Health Sciences Postgraduate Program, Medical School, Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheila Oliveira","family":"Feitosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Federal Goiano, Ceres 76300-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3043-0728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rodrigo Daminello","family":"Raimundo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Delineamento de Estudos e Escrita Cient\u00edfica, Centro Universit\u00e1rio FMABC, Santo Andr\u00e9 09060-590, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adriana Gon\u00e7alves de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Delineamento de Estudos e Escrita Cient\u00edfica, Centro Universit\u00e1rio FMABC, Santo Andr\u00e9 09060-590, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9902-8227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolina Rodrigues","family":"Mendon\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Postgraduate Program, Medical School, Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7618-2109","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luiz Carlos de","family":"Abreu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition and Health Postgraduate Program, Health Sciences Center, Federal University Espirito Santo, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"APA (2022, January 08).
