Book Description
BackgroundThe eating disorders (ED) are real addictive behavior that may causes real suffering for the patient and affect his self-esteem. AimsTo estimate prevalence rate of ED.To investigate dysfunctional eating behaviors and relationships between ED and low self-esteem.Methods:A 47-item anonymous online survey was conducted among college students (N=42), via Facebook, on February 2018 designed to record some sociodemographic and clinical data.We used the u201cEating Attitudes Testu201d (EAT26) and the u201cRosenberg self-esteem scaleu201d to evaluate ED and self-esteem.Results: The mean age of participants was 17 years, with a sex ratio of 0.75. Body mass index average was 21.21 kg/m2 (it ranged between 17.11 and 30.08 kg/m2 ). 7.2% of students have overweight or obesity. Regular physical activity was reported by 38.1% of them. According to Rosenberg self-esteem scale, 81% of subjects were classified as low or very low self esteem with a mean score of 27.16. The prevalence of ED in students was 33.3% with mean score of 15.71. . This prevalence of ED is higher among girls than boys (37.5% vs 27.8%, p =0.508). BMI score was higher in eating disorder group but the relationship was not significant. Low or very low self esteem were frequent among eating disorder group (64.3%) but the relationship was not significant with the EAT-26 scores (p=0.052).Conclusions:Our study highlighted the psychological distress which could accompany eating disorder and suggest that an earlier focus on self-esteem may be warranted in the treatment of ED.

Book Description
Over the past fifteen years, there has been a great increase in the knowledge of eating disorders in sport and effective means of treatment. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to discuss how to identify, manage, treat, and prevent eating disorders in sport participants. They begin by examining the clinical conditions related to eating problems, including descriptions of specific disorders and a review of the relevant literature. Special attention is given to the specific gender and sport-related factors that can negatively influence the eating habits of athletes. The second half of the book discusses identification of participants with disordered eating by reviewing symptoms and how they manifest in sport; management issues for sport personnel, coaches, athletic trainers, and healthcare professionals; treatment; and medical considerations, such as the use of psychotropic medications. A list of useful resources is included in an appendix, as well as a glossary of important terms.

Book Description
Research indicates athletes participating in competitive sports may be at a higher risk for developing an eating disorder than non-athletes (Costin, 2007). A variety of factors may lead to an eating disorder. This study looked at the relationship between the susceptibility to eating disorders, self-esteem, and body image and Division I, Division II, and Division III female collegiate student-athletes, and it considers whether competition level was a factor for developing an eating disorder. In this study, Division I, Division II, and Division III female athletes were asked to complete a questionnaire that included three subscales of the EDI-2, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Body Cathexis, in order to determine the eating and exercising attitudes of female student-athletes. The study's findings showed that there was not a relationship between a student-athletes' competition level and their susceptibility to eating disorders; however, there was a relationship between student-athletes' self-esteem level and body image satisfaction level and their susceptibility to eating disorders. It is recommended athletic departments test their student-athletes' levels of self-esteem and body image in order to set up appropriate interventions programs for athletes who may be susceptible to eating disorders due to their self-esteem levels and/or body image satisfaction levels.

Book Description
The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders shows that effective solutions begin at home and cost little more than a healthy investment of time, effort, and love. Based on exciting new research, it differs from similar books in several key ways. Instead of concentrating on the grim, expensive hospital stays of patients with severe disorders, the authors focus on the family, teaching parents how to examine and understand their family’s approach to food and body-image issues and its effect their child’s behavior. Parents learn to identify an eating disorder early, to establish healthy attitudes toward food at a young age, and to intervene in a nonthreatening, nonjudgmental way. The authors concentrate on teens, the age group most often affected by eating disorders, as well as younger children. Individual chapters cover boys at risk, relapse training, dealing with friends, school, and summer camp, and much more. The book includes an appendix and sections on further reading, organizations and websites, residential and hospital programs, and references.
