Resumen
RUIZ, Álvaro y QUILES, Yolanda. Prevalence of Orthorexia Nervosa in Spanish university students: relationship with body image and eating disorders. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.3, pp.493-499. Epub 13-Jun-2022. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.449041.
Background
The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of ON and analyze its relationship with self-image and ED behavior in university students.
Method
Cross-sectional study with a sample of 534 Spanish university students, 422 women and 112 men with an age mean of 22.04 (SD = 3.41). Questionnaires administered: a sociodemographic and lifestyle questionnaire, the ORTHO-11-Es, the Teruel Orthorexia Scale (TOS), the Multidimensional Body Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ-45) and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26).
Results
30.5% of the sample were on high risk of developing ON. Higher orthorexic tendencies were observed in women. Those at high risk of ON showed higher BMI, higher proportion of veganism/vegetarianism and significantly higher scores on the MBSRQ-45 (p < .00) and EAT-26 (p < .00).
Conclusions
Results showed a high prevalence of ON and its relationship with a worse self-image, concern with physical appearance and ED behaviors.
