This study aimed to analyze the association between the importance of several reasons to follow a vegan diet and the degree of orthorexic eating behavior in a sample of vegan individuals (N = 65, 53.8% women, age: M = 28.22 (SD = 9.13) years, BMI: M = 22.91 (SD = 3.44) kg/m).
The results reveal that orthorexic eating behavior is associated with the importance of the underlying motives health, esthetics and healing, whereas animal welfare, politics and ecology are not linked to orthorexia.
Hence, this study reveals that a vegan lifestyle is not per se associated with orthorexic eating behavior, but rather that it varies with the underlying motivation for following a vegan diet.
本研究旨在分析在素食个体样本中(N=65,53.8%为女性,年龄:M=28.22(SD=9.13)岁,BMI:M=22.91(SD=3.44)kg/m),几种遵循素食饮食的原因的重要性与饮食行为的端正程度之间的关联。
研究结果表明,端正的饮食行为与健康、美容和治疗等基本动机的重要性有关,而动物福利、政治和生态则与端正无关。
因此,本研究表明,素食生活方式本身并不与端正的饮食行为相关,而是与遵循素食饮食的潜在动机有关。
