Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is characterised by an obsessive focus on healthy eating, following restrictive dietary practices and dietary restrictions escalating over time. The aim of this study was to explore mindfulness, mindful eating, self-compassion and quality of life in a female population. Two hundred eighty-eight participants completed Orthorexia, Self-Compassion, Mindful eating, Mindfulness and Eating Disorder Quality of Life scales. The results indicated that there was a negative relationship between ON and mindfulness, self-compassion and mindful eating. Furthermore, the present study found a positive relationship between lower quality of life and ON, while findings indicated that self-compassion and the awareness facet of mindfulness moderated the relationship between ON and QOL. The present results contribute to a better understanding of orthorexic eating behaviours in a female population, and identify the moderating capacity of self-compassion and mindfulness. Further implications and future directions are discussed.Level of evidence Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study.
饮食强迫症（ON）的特点是过度关注健康饮食，遵循严格的饮食规定，且饮食限制随时间逐渐加剧。本研究旨在探讨女性群体中的正念、正念饮食、自我同情和生活质量。288 名参与者完成了饮食强迫症、自我同情、正念饮食、正念和饮食障碍生活质量量表。结果表明，ON 与正念、自我同情和正念饮食呈负相关。此外，本研究还发现生活质量较低与 ON 呈正相关，而研究结果表明自我同情和正念的觉察方面调节了 ON 与生活质量之间的关系。本研究结果有助于更好地理解女性群体中的饮食强迫症行为，并确定自我同情和正念的调节能力。进一步的影响和未来的方向也在讨论中。证据水平 V，横断面描述性研究。
