A qualitative investigation of Orthorexia Nervosa among U.S. college students: Characteristics and sociocultural influences.

Author
Abstract
:

Current studies on Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) are predominantly correlational and have largely been conducted outside of the U.S. with little attention to cultural aspects. This study aimed to qualitatively examine ON-related attitudes and behaviors among U.S. college students, with a particular focus on exploring concerns related to healthy eating and diet quality as defined by proposed diagnostic criteria, body image concerns and disordered eating, and sociocultural influences.
