Recent research points to the bidimensional nature of orthorexia, with one dimension related to interest in healthy eating (healthy orthorexia) and another dimension related to a pathological preoccupation with eating healthily (orthorexia nervosa). Research was needed to provide further support for this differentiation. We examined the food-choice motives related to both aspects of orthorexia. Participants were 460 students from a Spanish university who completed the Teruel Orthorexia Scale and the Food Choice Questionnaire. By means of structural equation modeling, we analyzed the relationship between orthorexia, food-choice motives, gender, body mass index, and age. The motives predicting food choices in orthorexia nervosa and healthy orthorexia were quite different. In the case of orthorexia nervosa, the main motive was weight control, with sensorial appeal and affect regulation also showing significant associations. For healthy orthorexia, the main motive was health content, with sensorial appeal and price also showing significant associations. This supports the hypothesis that orthorexia nervosa is associated with maladaptive eating behavior motived more by weight control than by health concerns.
最近的研究表明，健康饮食强迫症具有二维性质，一个维度与对健康饮食的兴趣有关（健康饮食强迫症），另一个维度与对健康饮食的病理性关注有关（健康饮食强迫症）。需要进一步的研究来为这种区分提供更多的支持。我们研究了与健康饮食强迫症的两个方面相关的食物选择动机。参与者是来自西班牙一所大学的 460 名学生，他们完成了特鲁埃尔健康饮食强迫症量表和食物选择问卷。我们通过结构方程模型分析了健康饮食强迫症、食物选择动机、性别、体重指数和年龄之间的关系。健康饮食强迫症和健康饮食强迫症的食物选择动机有很大的不同。在健康饮食强迫症的情况下，主要动机是控制体重，感官吸引力和情绪调节也有显著的关联。对于健康饮食强迫症，主要动机是健康内容，感官吸引力和价格也有显著的关联。这支持了这样一种假设，即健康饮食强迫症与适应不良的饮食行为有关，这种行为更多地是由控制体重而不是健康问题驱动的。
