Sociocultural attitudes toward appearance and attitudes toward eating in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: The importance of perfectionism. Pediatric Diabetes, 2025(1), 9993342. https://doi.org/10.1155/pedi/99933421399-543X1399-5448https://hdl.handle.net/11268/17439Adolescents managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk of experiencing eating disorders (EDs). Identifying risk factors is essential to develop preventive strategies. This study examines the potential mediation value of self-esteem and the perfectionism associated with EDs in the relationship between sociocultural attitudes toward appearance and eating attitudes related to EDs in a sample of adolescents with T1D. A high degree of perfectionism could be a risk variable when developing potential eating problems in T1D adolescents. Perfectionism and its self-management would be a prominent factor that may help to design interventions developed for adolescents with diabetes who show behaviors that potentially conflict with eating. The clinical implications are discussed.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Ciencias de la SaludDiabetes Mellitus Tipo 1Trastornos de Alimentación y de la Ingestión de Alimentosjournal article10.1155/pedi/9993342open accessCiencias médicasMedicina clínicaPsicologíaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 4: Quality education
