Abstract

Background and purpose: One of the prevalent psychological disorders mainly occurring at the end of adolescence and beginning of younghood is eating disorder. Their prevalence has been estimated to be about 4%. These disorders have different important complications such as, malnutrition and growth disorders. Studies have indicated that abnormal eating ATTITUDEs are predisposing of these disorders. Several epidemiologic studies show wide variation in prevalence of these abnormal ATTITUDEs and their influencing factors.Since determining of frequency distribution and the influencing factors have very important role in performing preventive plan, this study was necessary.Materials and methods: In this study, 1200 high school STUDENTS have been studied regarding abnormal eating ATTITUDE, depression, anxiety and some other predisposing variables like Age, sex, parents, education and profession, family size, place of residence, and body mass index (BMI). These STUDENTS were selected by stratified random sampling method and evaluated by eating ATTITUDE test (EAT-26), spilberger anxiety test and beck depression testResults: Abnormal eating ATTITUDEs were found in 10.5% of the cases under study. In a logistic regression model, depression status and BMI showed significant relation with abnormal eating ATTITUDEs. Severe and moderate depression were prevalent in persons with abnormal eating ATTITUDEs than in normal(42.4%. vs27.4%.).In obese and too obese cases, abnormal eating ATTITUDEs were more prevalent than in normal people(31.8% & 16.7% vs. 511.1%.).Conclusion: Prevalence of eating ATTITUDE disorders in this study is almost similar to the results of studies done in the other countries. Those with these abnormal ATTITUDEs, are more at the risk of developing psychological disorders, like depression, which can be serious in case of ignorance.
