This book was released on 2018 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significance: Recent research shows that disordered eating (DE) is commonly found across colleges in the United States, especially in the student athlete population; yet many cases go undetected and untreated due to subclinical symptoms, lack of awareness and education on specific behaviors. Those competing in weight-related and "lean" sports are reported to be at an even higher risk of developing DE behaviors. The short-term and long-term health effects are damaging to the athlete's mental and physical health with the potential for the latter's to be life threatening. College coaches have daily interaction with these student athletes and can aid in identifying changes in an athlete's behaviors or performance that can be due to DE. With proper education and training, coaches may be better able to identify and refer athletes to health professionals who may be at risk or engaged in DE. Purpose/Aim: The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to identify the prevalence of DE in IU student athletes and examine correlations related to sport, sex, and/or academic standing. This study would also assess IU athletic coaches' perceptions of DE prevalence, measure detection capabilities, and responses to athletes with perceived DE. Methods: Through the questionnaire, participants' demographics, weight status, body image, and eating behaviors will be assessed in all IU student athletes. The data collected will be analyzed to identify prevalence of DE and at-risk behaviors in IU student athletes as well as the correlates. A separate online questionnaire will collect data on knowledge and perceptions of DE in IU coaches. This data will be analyzed to identify the nutrition education needs of IU coaches in order to better support the efforts to reduce DE prevalence in this population. Expected Results/Interpretation: This study will serve as a basis to provide tailored nutrition education to IU student athletes and coaches with the goal to reduce current prevalence of DE and minimize new DE cases in current and incoming IU student athletes. The collected data is expected to provide insight into current eating habits of IU athletes and the prevalence of DE. Analysis of the data will identify whether specific sub population of student athletes at IU have a higher prevalence of DE as well as correlation factors. Coaches' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding prevalence, concern, ability to detect and seek outside help will be analyzed, which will provide a basis for the IU Nutrition & Dietetics department to develop education, training, and resources for the coaches. Conclusion/Implications: Implications of this study may include the development of screening tools for current and incoming IU student athletes and nutrition education sessions designed for the athletes and coaches. It would also support future research in this area including investigating prevalence of DE in student athletes at neighboring universities in the Philadelphia area to compare larger scale results. Overall, the research data collected would identify areas where improvements can be made utilizing Immaculata University's Nutrition Education department in an effort to reduce prevalence and minimize new cases of DE in IU student athletes.
Download or read book Assessment of Disordered Eating Behaviors in College aged Female Health and Human Services Majors written by Lindsay M. Skiba and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine disordered eating behaviors in Dietetic majors versus Nursing and Human Development and Family Studies majors at the Kent State University campus. The aforementioned majors at Kent State University primarily consist of the female population. Female Health and Human Services majors (n=345, ages 18-25) participated in an online questionnaire and included questions from the EAT-26, EAT-26 behavioral questions and the ORTO-15 questionnaire. Remaining questions collected demographic data. Variables measured included major (Nursing, HDFS, Nutrition & Dietetics) and class standing (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior). An ANOVA factorial design and independent t-tests were used to determine the differences in disordered eating scores. The data were compiled and analyzed using social sciences (SPSS) software (version 18.0.3). There was no significant difference in disordered eating behaviors between majors or between class standing. However, 28% of the population was classified as being at-risk for orthorexia nervosa, 18% of the population was classified at-risk for an eating disorder based off of EAT-26 scores, and 30% were classified at-risk for an eating disorder based off of EAT-26 Behavior scores. An apparent problem exists concerning disordered eating and eating disorders in the female college-aged population, suggesting that education and screening needs to expand further than the population of Nutrition & Dietetics majors.
Download or read book Eating Disorders and Obesity written by Phillipa Hay and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating Disorders have traditionally been considered apart from public health concerns about increasing obesity. It is evident that these problems are, however, related in important ways. Comorbid obesity and eating disorder is increasing at a faster rate than either obesity or eating disorders alone and one in five people with obesity also presents with an Eating Disorder, commonly but not limited to Binge Eating Disorder. New disorders have emerged such as normal weight or Atypical Anorexia Nervosa. However research and practice too often occurs in parallel with a failure to understand the weight disorder spectrum and consequences of co-morbidity that then contributes to poorer outcomes for people living with a larger size and an Eating Disorder. Urgently needed are trials that will inform more effective assessment, treatment and care where body size and eating disorder symptoms are both key to the research question.
Download or read book Prevalence of Eating Disorders Tendencies Disordered Eating and Orthorexia Nervosa Behaviors in Dietetic nutrition Students Compared to Biology Students written by Kelly J. Woehrer and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating disorders (ED) are a problem on university campuses (Leiderman & Triskier, 2004), and may be more evident in dietetic-nutrition (DN) students (Poínhos et al., 2015). Furthermore, Orthorexia Nervoxa is an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating (Bratman, 1997). The purpose of this research was to determine the difference in ED tendencies and Orthorexic behaviors in DN students and biology students. Components of the EAT-26 to assess ED tendencies, the ORTO-15 to assess Orthorexic behaviors, and demographic questions, were administered via electronic survey to DN students and biology students in Wisconsin. Forty-five surveys were analyzed (35 DN students; 10 biology students) aged 22.0±4.3 years. The prevalence of ED tendencies was 22.2% overall, 22.9% in DN students, and 20.0% in biology students. The mean EAT-26 score for DN students was 14.31±14.16 and 12.50±12.64 for biology students (p=0.717). The prevalence of ON was 88.9% overall, 88.6% in DN students, and 90.0% in biology students. The mean ORTO-15 score for dietetic-nutrition students was 34.83 and 34.10 for biology students (p=0.633). There is no significant difference in ED tendencies or Orthorexic behaviors between DN students and biology students per the EAT-26 and ORTO-15. Future studies with larger samples sizes are needed to confirm these findings.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Many veterans are burdened with a multitude of nutrition-related chronic illnesses. However, research on eating behaviors and the prevalence of disordered eating among this population is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate eating behaviors among student veterans in a public university in Southern California. Specifically, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of disordered eating behaviors using the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and identify associated risk factors including weight status, demographic characteristics, gender, and military history. This study found that the majority of student veterans (n = 83; 68.6%) met the criteria for eating disorder risk based on the EAT-26 behavioral question section. The results from this study revealed that student veterans who are overweight or obese (BMI ≥ 25.0) are at an increased risk (p

Download or read book Hidden and Lesser known Disordered Eating Behaviors in Medical and Psychiatric Conditions written by Emilia Manzato and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides up-to-date information on lesser known eating disorders (EDs) and eating related disorders. EDs and eating-related disorders include a highly heterogeneous group of syndromes and symptoms characterized by abnormal eating and weight control behaviors that can appear in all genders and ages. EDs can lead to high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially if they are misdiagnosed and untreated. The risk of underestimation is high for the lesser-known ED, and when unhealthy eating behaviors appear in unusual situations, such as some medical and psychiatric pathologies, adults and the elderly, sexual minorities etc. The volume examines EDs in specific populations (the elderly, males, infants and toddlers, sexual minorities, etc.). Several chapters explore in detail lesser-known EDs (anorexia athletica, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, chewing and spitting, EDs by proxy, EDs after bariatric surgery, muscle dysmorphia, night-eating syndrome, nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder, orthorexia nervosa, pica, rumination disorder, etc.). Finally, other chapters address features of unhealthy eating and weight control behaviors associated with medical diseases (achalasia, craniopharyngioma, cystic fibrosis, cyclic vomiting syndrome, diabetes, dysphagia, Kleine-Levin syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Parkinson disease, Prader-Willi syndrome, Turner syndrome, etc.) The book will be a valuable resource for all health professionals who work in the fields of psychiatry, clinical psychology, eating disorders, obesity, medicine, clinical nutrition, public health, and prevention, allowing them to broaden their understanding of these disorders, and to enhance their clinical ability to diagnose them.
Download or read book Health Food Junkies written by Steven Bratman, M.D. and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2004-07-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to identify the eating disorder orthorexia nervosa–an obsession with eating healthfully–and offer expert advice on how to treat it. As Americans become better informed about health, more and more people have turned to diet as a way to lose weight and keep themselves in peak condition. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa–disorders in which the sufferer focuses on the quantity of food eaten–have been highly documented over the past decade. But as Dr. Steven Bratman asserts in this breakthrough book, for many people, eating “correctly” has become an equally harmful obsession, one that causes them to adopt progressively more rigid diets that not only eliminate crucial nutrients and food groups, but ultimately cost them their overall health, personal relationships, and emotional well-being. Health Food Junkies is the first book to identify this new eating disorder, orthorexia nervosa, and to offer detailed, practical advice on how to cope with and overcome it. Orthorexia nervosa occurs when the victim becomes obsessed, not with the quantity of food eaten, but the quality of the food. What starts as a devotion to healthy eating can evolve into a pattern of incredibly strict diets; victims become so focused on eating a “pure” diet (usually raw vegetables and grains) that the planning and preparation of food come to play the dominant role in their lives. Health Food Junkies provides an expert analysis of some of today’s most popular diets–from The Zone to macrobiotics, raw-foodism to food allergy elimination–and shows not only how they can lead to orthorexia, but how they are often built on faulty logic rather than sound medical advice. Offering expert insight gleaned from his work with orthorexia patients, Dr. Bratman outlines the symptoms of orthorexia, describes its progression, and shows readers how to diagnose the condition. Finally, Dr. Bratman offers practical suggestions for intervention and treatment, giving readers the tools they need to conquer this painful disorder, rediscover the joys of eating, and reclaim their lives.
Download or read book Differences in Disordered Eating Among Sexual and Gender Minority College Students in the National College Health Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual and gender minority subpopulations are often under-examined in eating disorders research, creating a significant gap in the literature. Sexual and gender minority populations are comprised of distinct subgroups with specific health concerns. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of self-reported eating disorder (ED; anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa) diagnoses and two disordered eating behaviors (DEB; purging and diet pill use) among a nationally based sample of sexual and gender minority college students using the Fall 2015 version of the National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA IIc). Among those subpopulations that showed elevated odds of ED or DEB, cisgender bisexual females reported significantly higher odds of purging to lose weight within the last 30 days when compared to cisgender heterosexual females (OR= 1.986, CI= 1.419-2.780) and cisgender queer females reported elevated odds of self-reported bulimia diagnosis within the past 12 months when compared to cisgender heterosexual females (OR= 5.259, CI= 1.463-18.899). Cisgender asexual males reported significantly lower odds of using diet pills to lose weight (OR= 0.257, CI= 0.082-0.807) when compared to cisgender heterosexual females. This analysis was one of the first instances of examining ED and DEB among a very diverse range of sexual and gender minority populations using the National College Health Assessment. Exploring sexual and gender minority subpopulations independently facilitates more appropriate approaches to addressing eating disorder concerns among these high risk populations. In addition, future research should address the complex factors associated with ED and DEB among sexual and gender minority college students in order to tailor effective intervention strategies.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the vulnerability towards disordered eating behaviors among college students. Specifically, this study looked at vulnerability towards disordered eating in students registered in general education nutrition classes at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) by class standing, gender, distress tolerance, family history, frequency of alcohol consumption per week, and major. Participants were selected through cluster sampling from CSULBʼs Nutrition 132 classes during the 2011-12 school year. A survey combining components from 3 different questionnaires were used. Independent t-test and ANOVA with Tukeyʼs post hoc demonstrated that gender, family history, and distress tolerance increased vulnerability towards disordered eating. These results can be used to serve as red-flags with collegeaged women or as criterion in counseling and clinical settings.

Download or read book Assessing the Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Disordered Eating Behaviors in Adolescents with Inflammatory Bowel Disease written by David Jennie and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Diet-related chronic health conditions (DRCHCs) are a category of diseases that include Type I Diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis, Celiac Disease, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and revolve around food, diet, and weight. IBD is an umbrella term for Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis, both of which are chronic, autoimmune conditions that primarily affect the gastrointestinal system. Although previous research has demonstrated that adolescents with DRCHCs are vulnerable to disordered eating behaviors, the prevalence and risk factors of such concerns within a pediatric IBD population has yet to be explored. This study investigated the prevalence of, and risk factors for, disordered eating behaviors in adolescents with IBD. Methods: This cross-sectional, multi-site survey study recruited via three outpatient pediatric IBD clinics in the ImproveCareNow research collaborative and ImproveCareNow social media postings. Interested pediatric patients with IBD between 12 and 22 years of age were electronically consented to the study and completed the online survey study. Survey study measures included the EDE-Q, IMPACT-III, and the RCADS-25, which assessed disordered eating behaviors, pediatric IBD-specific quality of life, and internalizing symptoms, respectively. Results: Approximately 34% of participants reported clinically significant shape concerns (i.e., discomfort with body shape) and more than 17% reported clinically significant EDE-Q total scores. No differences were found by gender between adolescents with IBD and established norms for healthy individuals. Lower body image, higher anxiety, and lower quality of life were found to significantly predict disordered eating behaviors in this population. Small effect sizes were identified for several medical variables, including diagnosis subtype, surgery history, and previous steroid use, on disordered eating behaviors. Conclusions: Over one third of the study sample endorsed clinically significant shape-related disordered eating thoughts and nearly 20% endorsed symptoms that suggest clinically significant disordered eating, consistent with findings from other DRCHCs research. These findings suggest that pediatric patients with IBD are more likely to identify concerns with thoughts related to disordered eating than disordered eating behaviors. Medical variables may be related to disordered eating thoughts and behaviors. Future research should seek to assess if these findings are replicated with a large sample size. Given the relatively high prevalence, findings suggest that clinicians and researchers should continue to assess body image concerns and disordered eating behaviors in adolescents with IBD in the medical and psychosocial care for this population.
