The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence rate of disordered eating behaviors in young female athletes and to compare the anxiety levels of the athletes with or without disordered eating behaviors. Female athletes (n=243) of 15 to 25 years old from the city, Edirne, in Turkey participated our study. Disordered eating behaviors and anxiety levels of participants were evaluated by the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Disordered eating behaviors was reported as 40 (16.7%) among all athletes. Both state and trait anxiety scores were higher in athletes with disordered eating behaviors than the athletes without disordered eating behaviors (p=0.01). The athletes who engage in leanness and non leanness sports were reported as having similar EAT-40 scores and anxiety scores. In conclusion, athletes with disordered eating behaviors have higher state and trait anxiety scores.
本研究旨在调查年轻女性运动员中饮食失调行为的患病率，并比较有或无饮食失调行为的运动员的焦虑水平。来自土耳其埃迪尔内市的15至25岁女性运动员（n = 243）参与了我们的研究。通过饮食态度测试（EAT - 40）和状态 - 特质焦虑量表对参与者的饮食失调行为和焦虑水平进行评估。在所有运动员中，有40人（16.7%）报告有饮食失调行为。有饮食失调行为的运动员的状态焦虑和特质焦虑得分均高于无饮食失调行为的运动员（p = 0.01）。从事瘦身和非瘦身运动的运动员报告的EAT - 40得分和焦虑得分相似。总之，有饮食失调行为的运动员的状态焦虑和特质焦虑得分更高。
