Abstract
Epidemiological
data in Romania indicate an increase of eating disorders during the
last two decades. Weight concerns, disordered eating and some cognitive
characteristics were identified as risk factors for developing eating
disorders. We investigated 196 Romanian and 110 German female students
as well as a group of 31 female anorexia nervosa patients with the
Eating Disorders Inventory. The findings might question the patterns of
how weight concerns and ineffectiveness may predict eating disorders.
Further replication and cross-cultural studies may highlight why and how
for Romanian young women being thin appears to be more “normal” than
being normal-weight.© 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier
