Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the present study was to compare nutrition knowledge levels in young women with and without an eating disorder (ED) in two countries.

METHOD

Women with a clinical ED (n = 55) and healthy control women (n = 99) in Australia and Singapore completed a Nutritional Knowledge Questionnaire, acculturation questionnaire and demographics survey. Nutrition knowledge was analysed in terms of clinical status, cultural group, acculturation, socioeconomic status and education level. results: Women with EDs had greater knowledge than controls, but the magnitude of the difference was small. Greater acculturation to Western culture was associated with greater knowledge.

CONCLUSIONS

The difference in nutrition knowledge between women with and without EDs is unlikely to be of clinical importance. The findings may reflect today's ubiquitous availability of nutrition information.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在比较两个国家中患有和不患有饮食障碍（ED）的年轻女性的营养知识水平。

方法

在澳大利亚和新加坡，患有临床 ED 的女性（n = 55）和健康对照组女性（n = 99）完成了营养知识问卷、文化适应问卷和人口统计学调查。营养知识根据临床状况、文化群体、文化适应、社会经济地位和教育水平进行分析。结果：ED 女性的知识水平高于对照组，但差异幅度较小。对西方文化的更高程度的适应与更高的知识水平相关。
