Theyare much more common in women than in men, predominantly in young people. Thereis increased incidence of eating disorders, which are the result of improved knowledgeand the increasingly early implementation of better instruments for symptoms, riskfactors and the availability of well defined diagnostic criteria.Objective: to identify key validated scales to detect symptoms and risk behaviors foreating disorders in adolescents and adults.Methodology: thematic review of publications in which they occur, validate andanalyze different scales to assess symptoms and risk behaviors for ED. Electronicsearch was conducted from 1984 to 2011 in English and Spanish. We included all typesof publications. We reviewed the abstracts and full papers were selected that addressedscales to assess symptoms and risk factors for eating behavior disorders.Results: 539 abstracts were obtained on TCA. We reviewed 75 articles identified sixcomplete and validated scales to identify symptoms and risk behaviors. Scale SCOFF(Sick, Control, Outweigh, Fat, Food). Scale EDE-Q. (Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire self-report). Scale EAT (Eating Attitudes Test) in versions 40 and 26questions. Scale EDI (Eating Disorder Inventory). Scale BULIT (Bulimia Test) andversion revised (BULIT-R). Scale BITE (Bulimia Test of Edinburg).Conclusion: the SCOFF scale stands out to be simple and easy to apply orally orin writing. EAT scale, in both versions, is considered the gold standard to identifysymptoms and risk behaviors for eating disorder behavior.RESUMEN:Introducci¨®n: los trastornos de comportamiento alimentario (TCA) son un grupo des¨ªndromes que tienen en com¨²n rasgos psicopatol¨®gicos fuertemente determinadospor la apariencia f¨ªsica.
