The objectives of the present study were to (1) evaluate prevalence of orthorexia nervosa (ON) in university students in Spain and Poland, (2) assess differences in ON and eating disorder (ED) pathology in both samples and (3) examine the relationship between ON and ED symptoms among Spanish and Polish university students. Eight hundred and sixty university students participated in the present study (Mage = 21.17 ± 3.38; MBMI = 22.57 ± 3.76). The Spanish and Polish samples comprised 485 and 375 students, respectively. The Düsseldorf Orthorexia Scale and the Eating Disorder Inventory were used in the present study. ON prevalence rates of 2.3% and 2.9%, respectively, are found in the Spanish and Polish samples. Compared to Polish students, Spanish university students reported increased drive for thinness and lower body dissatisfaction, lower level of ineffectiveness and lower level of interpersonal distrust. ON was positively related to drive for thinness, bulimia, body dissatisfaction, perfectionism interoceptive awareness (in both Spanish and Polish students) and ineffectiveness (in Spanish students). Our findings suggest that ON significantly overlaps with ED symptoms, which is in line with recent studies. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess how ON develops in a sample of young adults and whether it develops in isolation of or in parallel with ED pathology.

Practical Implications

Researchers have questioned aerobic instructors’ status as healthy role models by suggesting that they are excessive exercisers who may be at risk for developing eating disorders. To address this issue, 286 female aerobic instructors (mean age = 34.1) completed the Commitment to Exercise Scale (CES) and the Bulimia (B), Body Dissatisfaction (BD), and Drive for Thinness (DT) subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2). Instructors scored low on the CES (M = 62.24) relative to other high-exercising populations. Scores on the EDI-2 subscales were also low compared to published norms (M = .78, 7.8, and 3.2 for B, BD, and DT, respectively). Simple correlations revealed that the CES was related to all three EDI-2 subscales (rs ranged from .18 to .30; ps < .01). Discussion focuses on factors that may account for instructors’ healthy attitudes toward exercise and eating, and practical implications for sport psychologists who work with fitness instructors.

This study examined the possibility of earing disorders in 30 female aerobic dance instructors. All subjects completed a biographical questionnaire and the Eating Disorder Inventory. The results showed that the aerobic instructors yielded scores which were comparable to similarly aged female weight lifters but tended to be lower than those of women distance runners (also of similar age). Interestingly, 23% ( n = 7) of the subjects reported a previous history of bulimia and 17% ( n = 5) reported a previous history of anorexia. Thus, 40% of the instructors indicated a previous experience with eating disorders. Based on all 30 participants, the mean scores associated with Body Dissatisfaction, Drive for Thinness, Ineffectiveness, and Perfectionism were quite comparable to those previously established for anorexic groups. In addition, a relatively high percentage of the sample yielded scores which were actually greater than mean values associated with anorexia patients on nine of the 11 sub-scales. Based on these results, a number of the aerobic dance instructors possessed scores suggesting behaviors and attitudes consistent with female athletes whose sports emphasize leanness and comparable to those who have eating disorders.

This study compared women with lrritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and women without IBS, with regards to characteristics of indigestion disturbances, as measured by the Eating Disorder Inventory-2. A comparison between the two groups was also made of their blood-serotonin leveb. A sample group (N = 30) of women that suffer from IBSand~ac ontrol group (N = 28) completed the "lrritable bowel syndrome Client Questionnaire" and the "Eating Disorder Inventory-2". A part of the study attempted to determine if there is a significant difference between women with and wi!5out IBS with regard to the following subscales on the Eating Disorder Inventory-2: "Body Dissatisfaction", "Drive for Thinness", "Bulimia" and the "lntroceptive Awareness" subscale. The results show a statistical significant difference between the groups, as well as a statistical significant difference on the "Bulimia" subscale. A statistical significant difference between the groups was also shown with regard to the "introceptive Awareness" subscale. No differences were found with regard to the "Drive for Thinness" and the "Body Dissatisfaction" subscales. The results also did not show a statistical significant difference between the groups with regard to serotonin levels.OpsommingDie studie het vrouens met Prikkelbare Dermsindroom (PDS) en vrouens daarsonder vergelyk ten opsigte van kenmerke van die ingestie versteurings, soos gemeet deur die "Eating Disorder Inventory-2. 'n Vergelyking tussen die groepe ten opsigte van bloed-serotonien vlakke is ook getref. 'n Steekproei (N = 30) van vrouens wat aan PDS ly en 'n kontrolegroep (N = 28) het die "lrritable bowel syndrome Client Questionnaire" en die "Eating Disorder Inventory-2 voltooi. 'n Deel van die studie het gepoog om te bepaai of daar 'n beduidende verskil is tussen vrouens met en sonder PDS ten opsigte van die volgende subskale op die "Eating Disorder Inventory-2: "Body Dissatisfaction", "Drive for Thinness", "Bulimia" en die "lntroceptive Awareness" subskale. Die resultate dui op 'n statisties beduidende verskil tussen die groepe asook'n statisties beduidende verskil op die "Bulimia" subskaal. 'n Statisties beduidende verskil tussen die groepe is ook getoon ten opsigte van die "lntroceptive Awareness" subskaal. Geen verskille ten opsigte van die "Drive for Thinness" en die "Body Dissatisfaction" subskale is gevind nie. Die resultate toon ook geen statisties beduidende verskil tussen die groepe ten opsigte van serotonienvlakke nie.

In this study the Eating Disorder Inventory-3 was adapted to Spanish and analyzed the internal psychometric properties of the test in a clinical sample of females with eating disorders. The results showed a high internal consistency of the scores as well as high temporal stability. The factor structure of the scale composites was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. The results supported the existence of a second-order structure beyond the psychological composites. The second-order factor showed high correlation with the factor related to eating disorders. Overall, the Spanish version of the EDI-3 showed good psychometric qualities in terms of internal consistency, temporal stability and internal structure.

Abstract Context Third-wave therapies have demonstrated efficacy as a treatment option for EDs in adulthood. Data on the suitability for EDs in adolescence are lacking. Objective To estimate the efficacy of third-wave interventions to reduce ED symptoms in adolescents in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and uncontrolled studies. Data sources We systematically reviewed the databases PubMed (1976-January 2021), PsycINFO (1943-January 2021), and the Cochrane database (1995-January 2021) for English-language articles on third-wave therapies. References were screened for further publications of interest. Study selection RCTs and pre-post studies without control group, comprising patients aged 11–21 years (mean age = 15.6 years) with an ED diagnosis (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, eating disorder not otherwise specified) investigating the efficacy of third-wave psychological interventions were included. Efficacy had to be evaluated according to the Eating Disorder Examination or Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire, the Eating Disorder Inventory-2, the Eating Disorder Inventory-3, or the Structured Interview for Anorexic and Bulimic Disorders for DSM-IV and ICD-10. The outcome assessed in the meta-analysis was the EDE total score. Data extraction Independent extraction of data by two authors according to a pre-specified data extraction sheet and quality indicators. Data synthesis We identified 1000 studies after removal of duplicates, assessed the full texts of 48 articles for eligibility, and included 12 studies with a total of 487 participants (female 97.3%/male 2.6%) in the qualitative synthesis and seven studies in the meta-analysis. Articles predominantly reported uncontrolled pre-post trials of low quality, with only two published RCTs. Treatments focused strongly on dialectical behaviour therapy (n = 11). We found moderate effects of third-wave therapies on EDE total score interview/questionnaire for all EDs (d = − 0.67; z = − 5.53; CI95% = − 0.83 to − 0.59). Descriptively, the effects appeared to be stronger in patients with BN and BED. Conclusion At this stage, it is not feasible to draw conclusions regarding the efficacy of third-wave interventions for the treatment of EDs in adolescence due to the low quality of the empirical evidence. Since almost all of the identified studies used DBT, it is unfortunately not possible to assess other third-wave treatments’ efficacy.

SummaryPrevious research has suggested that prenatal testosterone exposure masculinises disordered eating by comparing opposite- and same-gender twins. The objective of the current study is to replicate this finding using a sample of 439 identical and 213 fraternal females, 461 identical and 344 fraternal males, and 361 males and 371 females from opposite-gender twin pairs. Disordered eating was compared across twin types using the Eating Disorder Inventory–2. Inconsistent with previous findings, a main effect of co-twin gender was not found. Our results raise questions about the validity of prior evidence of the impact of prenatal testosterone exposure on patterns of disordered eating.
