| Sažetak | Ortoreksija (ON) je relativno novi društveni fenomen koji karakterizira pretjerana preokupacija „zdravom“ hranom. Cilj ovog rada bio je utvrditi učestalost i karakteristike ON-a među polaznicima teretana u Hrvatskoj te ispitati prisutnost gastrointestinalnih simptoma koji se manifestiraju u obliku IBS-a, a mogući su rezultat restrikcija u prehrani. Provedeno je opažajno istraživanje putem online upitnika u kojem je sudjelovalo 126 ispitanika, čija je razina fizičke aktivnosti ispitana Baeckeovim upitnikom. Iz analize je isključeno 27 ispitanika zbog niske razine aktivnosti. Analizirani su odgovori 99 ispitanika, 68,7 % žena i 31,3 % muškaraca prosječne dobi 24 godine. Prevalencija ON-a iznosila je 77,8 % prema tradicionalnom kriteriju (ORTHO-15 skor <40) i 33,3 % prema modificiranom kriteriju (ORTHO-15 skor <35). Žene imaju dva puta veću sklonost ka ON-i u usporedbi s muškarcima (39,7 % prema 19,4 %, p=0,037). Osobe s visokom sklonošću ka ON-i imaju izražene tri crte ličnosti (prema BFI upitniku): neuroticizam, savjesnost i ekstraverziju. Veći broj restrikcija u prehrani (npr. izbjegavanje glutena ili šećera) je učestalije među osobama s visokom sklonošću ka ON-i, što potvrđuje snažna negativna korelacija ORTHO-15 i EHQ skora (r=-0,611). Ispitanici s visokom sklonošću ka ON-i značajno rjeđe preskaču obroke (p<0,001) i ne konzumiraju alkohol (p=0,010). Nije utvrđena značajna razlika u psihofizičkom stanju (prema DASS-21 upitniku) niti učestalošću gastrointestinalnih simptoma karakterističnih za IBS (prema GSRS-IBS upitniku). Neovisni čimbenici rizika za visoku sklonost ka ON su ženski spol (OR 4,319, 95% CI 1,210–15,415, p=0,024) i veći broj restrikcija u prehrani promatranih kao viši EHQ skor (OR 1,326, 95% CI 1,169–1,506, p<0,001). |
| Sažetak (engleski) | Orthorexia (ON) is a new social phemonenon caracterized by an excessive preoccupation with „healthy“ food. The aim was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of orthorexia nervosa symptoms among gym attendees in Croatia. The prevalence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms was also analysed. An online observational study was completed by 126 gym attendees. Their physical activity level was tested with Baecke's questionnaire. After excluding 27 participants due to low physical activity level, answers of 99 participants, 68.7 % female and 31.3 % male, median age 24 years were analysed. The prevalence of ON was 77.8 % according to the traditional critera (ORTHO-15 score <40) and 33.3 % according to the modified criteria (ORTHO-15 score <35). Women are two times more likely to have ON in comparison to men (39.7 % vs 19.4 %, p=0.037). Those with high ON tendency express 3 personality traits (based on BFI questionnaire): neuroticism, conscientiousness and extraversion more often than those with lower ON tendency. More dietary restrictions (like avoiding gluten or sugar) were found among those with high ON tendency, which is backed up by strong negative correlation between ORTHO-15 and Eating Healthy Questionnaire (EHQ) score (r=0.611). Gym atendees with high ON tendency do not skip meals (p<0.001) and do not consume alcohol (p=0.010). No significant difference was found in psychological condition (according to DASS-21) nor IBS symptoms (according to GSRS-IBS questionnaire) between high and low ON tendency groups. Independent risk factors related to high ON tendency are female sex (OR 4.319, 95% CI 1.210–15.415, p=0.024) and more dietary restrictions expressed as higher EHQ score (OR 1.326, 95% CI 1.169–1.506, p<0.001). |
