Abstract
Background The disordered eating pattern Orthorexia Nervosa(ON) has been examined in various populations with a non-established prevalence. ON shares the isolation/malaise aspects of defined eating disorders(EDs). People with diabetes(DM) struggle with food/EDs and treatment relies on limiting processed foods, and they may display ON symptomatology. However, ON has rarely been examined in diabetes, or in a US population. Objective Determine prevalence of ON in US adults with diabetes. Other aims: determine association between Orthorexia and (1)quality-of-life(QOL); (2)overall disordered eating; (3) disordered eating habits in people with insulin-dependent diabetes; (4)body image perception in diabetes. Hypothesis Due to its ill nature/similarities to established EDs, Orthorexia Nervosa is prevalent in people with diabetes. Methods The REDCAP survey contained five measures. Results DMI had a higher prevalence of ON. ED behaviors decreased and body image was more favorable(p≤.05). Conclusion ON is prevalent in people with diabetes. Diabetes professionals should recognize/screen for Orthorexia.
