This study provided a descriptive report of disordered eating behaviors and attitudes among older women and evaluated correlates (maladaptive perfectionism, appearance-related criticism). Participants were 97 women, ages 65-90, who completed questionnaires. Per the Eating Attitudes Test - 26, approximately 6% of participants met clinical cut-offs for a likely eating disorder. Maladaptive perfectionism was significantly correlated with an array of disordered eating attitudes as well as bulimic symptoms, but appearance-related criticism from significant others was not significantly correlated with disordered eating behaviors or attitudes. Results suggest that disordered eating behaviors and attitudes exist among older women with both similarities and differences in correlates compared to young women.
本研究描述了老年女性的饮食失调行为和态度，并评估了相关因素（适应不良的完美主义、与外貌相关的批评）。参与者为 97 名年龄在 65-90 岁的女性，她们完成了问卷调查。根据饮食态度测试-26，大约 6%的参与者符合可能的饮食障碍的临床标准。适应不良的完美主义与一系列饮食失调态度以及暴食症状显著相关，但来自重要他人的与外貌相关的批评与饮食失调行为或态度没有显著相关。研究结果表明，老年女性存在饮食失调行为和态度，与年轻女性相比，其相关因素既有相似之处也有不同之处。
