Orthorexia is a new term about eating behavior disorder and consists of pathologic obsession for biologically pure foods, free of herbicides, pesticides, and other artificial substances. It is not an independent diagnostic category, but it has some similarities with other eating disorders. This study was conducted to examine the orthorexia among 878 medical students. Of 878 students, 464 (52.8%) were male and 359 (40.9%) were female. The mean age, height, weight, and body mass index were 21.3 +/- 2.1 years, 171.0 +/- 8.5 cm, 65.6 +/- 12.3 kg, 22.4 +/- 2.99, respectively. The rates of the ORTO-11 scores between 0 and 15 was 1.9%; between 16 and 30, 57.5%; and between 31 and higher, 21.1%. There were 17 students with a score of 0 to 15. The mean score for the ORTO-11 test was 27. There were statistically significant differences between age, sex, and smoking habit of the students. In the male students, there was a statistically significantly higher tendency for orthorexia (P = .001), and there was a statistically significant difference between the age groups for tendency for orthorexia (P = .025). In logistic regression analysis, age, sex, Eating Attitude Test-40 (EAT-40), and height affected the ORTO-11 scores.
饮食强迫症是一种新的饮食行为障碍术语,它由对生物纯净食品的病态痴迷组成,这些食品不含除草剂、杀虫剂和其他人工物质。它不是一个独立的诊断类别,但与其他饮食失调有一些相似之处。本研究旨在调查 878 名医学生的饮食强迫症。在 878 名学生中,464 名(52.8%)为男性,359 名(40.9%)为女性。平均年龄、身高、体重和体重指数分别为 21.3 +/- 2.1 岁、171.0 +/- 8.5 厘米、65.6 +/- 12.3 千克、22.4 +/- 2.99。ORTO-11 评分在 0 到 15 之间的比例为 1.9%;在 16 到 30 之间的比例为 57.5%;在 31 分及以上的比例为 21.1%。有 17 名学生的 ORTO-11 评分为 0 到 15。ORTO-11 测试的平均得分为 27。学生的年龄、性别和吸烟习惯存在统计学差异。在男性学生中,饮食强迫症的倾向有统计学显著差异(P =.001),且饮食强迫症的倾向在年龄组之间存在统计学显著差异(P =.025)。在逻辑回归分析中,年龄、性别、饮食态度测试-40(EAT-40)和身高影响 ORTO-11 评分。
