This study aimed to identify the relationship between labor status, confinement degree due to COVID-19, dissatisfaction with body image, and anxiety and to discover its effect on bulimic behavior in Mexican adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 276 participants via an online survey. Questions addressed their anxiety, body image dissatisfaction, and bulimic behavior. Results: The path analysis showed direct effects on the confinement degree (<i>β</i> = −0.157); of the labor situation (<i>β</i> = −0.147) and gender (<i>β</i> = 0.129) on anxiety; of dissatisfaction on bulimic behavior (<i>β</i> = 0.443) and anxiety about bulimic behavior (<i>β</i> = 0.184); and dissatisfaction (<i>β</i> = 0.085). Conclusions: The confinement, gender, and labor status are predictors of anxiety, while anxiety and body dissatisfaction directly influence bulimic behavior.Gisela Pineda-GarcíaAracely Serrano-MedinaEstefanía Ochoa-RuízAna Laura MartínezMDPI AGarticlebulimic behavioranxietybody imageCOVID-19home confinementbody dissatisfactionMedicineRENHealthcare, Vol 9, Iss 1435, p 1435 (2021)
