To determine prevalence of eating attitude disorder (EAD) and the effect of self-esteem on EAD in female university students.
In this cross-sectional study, female university students were included. The dependent variable was EAD determined by Eating Attitude Test-40. Socio-demographic characteristics, body perception, obesity, self-compassion and self-esteem were independent variables. Logistic regression (LR) models have been established to determine the associated factors of EAD. < 0.05 was considered significant.
EAD were found in 3.3% ( = 20) of the participants ( = 600). 44.5% had low and medium self-esteem and %13.4 were overweight (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25.0). According to LR models, after adjusted for age, increased self-esteem score (decreased self-esteem) (OR:1.8, 95%CI:1.063-3.303) and practicing popular diet (OR:12.6, 95%CI:4.439-35.904) increased the risk of EAD significantly.
EAD were less than expected in this group of university students. Self-esteem is an important factor affecting EAD. Students with EAD may be recommended to get psychological support as well as nutritional counseling.
确定女大学生饮食态度障碍（EAD）的患病率，以及自尊对 EAD 的影响。
本横断面研究纳入女大学生。采用 Eating Attitude Test-40 评估 EAD，为因变量，社会人口学特征、身体感知、肥胖、自我同情和自尊为自变量。建立逻辑回归（LR）模型以确定 EAD 的相关因素。P<0.05 为差异有统计学意义。
在 600 名参与者中，有 3.3%（n=20）存在 EAD。44.5%的参与者自尊水平较低或中等，13.4%的参与者超重（BMI≥25.0）。LR 模型显示，在校正年龄后，自尊评分升高（自尊降低）（OR：1.8，95%CI：1.063-3.303）和流行节食（OR：12.6，95%CI：4.439-35.904）显著增加了 EAD 的风险。
在这群女大学生中，EAD 的发生率低于预期。自尊是影响 EAD 的一个重要因素。患有 EAD 的学生可能需要得到心理支持以及营养咨询。
