“…On the other hand, our results indicated that the period with the highest prevalence was after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. This result is in line with previous studies (using different tools than the ORTO-15 to assess ON symptoms) that observed increased symptoms during this period [ 115 ]. The increase in time spent on social media due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been identified as one of the reasons for the increase in ON symptoms [ 116 ].…”

Background To date, no previous meta-analysis has determined the overall proportion of orthorexia nervosa symptoms on a global scale. The aim of the present study was 2-fold: first, to establish the overall proportion of orthorexia nervosa symptoms on a global scale, assessed with the ORTO-15 questionnaire; and second, to determine the role of sex, type of population, mean age, body mass index, and the temporal trend in relation to orthorexia nervosa symptoms. Methods Four databases were searched (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) with date limits from January 2005 to June 2023. Studies assessing the proportion of orthorexia nervosa assessed using the ORTO-15 questionnaire with a cutoff of <35 or <40 points were included in this review. Results The overall proportion of orthorexia nervosa symptoms (using the cutoff <35 points) was 27.5% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 23.5-31.6, I 2 = 97.0%). In addition, no significant differences were observed between females (34.6%, 95% CI = 29.5-39.8, I 2 = 96.1%) and males (32.1%, 95% CI = 26.5-38.1, I 2 = 93.1%). According to the type of population, the highest overall proportion was found in people focused on sports performance or body composition (34.5%, 95% CI = 23.1-47.0, I 2 = 98.0%). Notwithstanding, caution should be exercised in interpreting this result, as reverse causality could be a potential pitfall in this relationship. Conclusions We found that approximately three out of 10 study participants showed orthorexia nervosa symptoms according to the ORTO-15 tool. This overall proportion was higher in those participants who were athletes or fitness practitioners. Over the years, the proportion of orthorexia nervosa symptoms seems to be increasing. These high percentages and their increase are worrisome from a public health perspective and highlight the need to develop psychometric instruments to aid in clinical diagnosis and treatment efficacy. Registration PROSPERO (CRD42022350873).

“…It contributed to the appearance and exacerbation of depression, anxiety, stress, psychological distress, post-traumatic stress disorder, and sleep disturbances (especially insomnia), among others [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Moreover, the pandemic caused the exacerbation of various ED, including increasing the tendency of orthorexia nervosa, which greatly worsened the mental health of individuals with these disorders [ 31 , 32 ]. Most of our respondents (over 80%) reported that the pandemic caused a general deterioration in the quality of their life.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and imposed restrictions had negative consequences on overall health among many populations. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the pandemic on eating disorders (ED) and mental health (MH) of individuals with confirmed ED diagnoses. A survey consisting of questions related to (1) diagnosis of COVID-19, (2) changes in ED symptoms and onset of new symptoms, (3) psychological and MH aspects regarding to the pandemic, (4) lifestyle changes, and (5) social media (SM) usage was distributed between April–June 2021. One hundred and ninety-eight individuals met all of the inclusion criteria (nfemales = 195, 98.48%; nother gender = 3, 1.52%). Of the participants, 78.79% reported worsening of their ED symptoms, 42.93% of them noticed an onset of new ED symptoms, and 57.58% believed that the pandemic had a negative impact on their ED treatment. Negative changes due to the pandemic on MH were reported by 88.89%. Of the participants, 91.92% increased their time spent on SM and 54.04% of them declared that it had a negative impact on their MH. Medical professionals should consider results while providing comprehensive psychological care, which can be crucial information in the application of the appropriate treatment strategy.

Bu çalışmada, diyetisyen adayı öğrencilerinin ortoreksiya nervoza (ON) eğilimi ile yaşam doyum düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması ve besin tercihleri ve tüketim sıklıklarının hem ON eğilimi hem de yaşam doyumu düzeyine etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tekirdağ Namık Kemal Üniversitesi Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümünde öğrenim gören 283 öğrenci araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği, ORTO-11 Ölçeği, Besin Tüketim Sıklığı Anketi ile sosyodemografik bilgileri içeren kişisel bilgi formu katılımcılara "Google Dokümanlar" üzerinden sunularak veriler toplanmıştır. ON değişkeni ile yaşam doyumu değişkeni arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesinde Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. İkili grup değişkenlerin karşılaştırmalarında t-testi ya da Mann-Whitney U testi, çoklu karşılaştırmalar için tek yönlü varyans analizi testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya dâhil olan diyetisyen adayı öğrencilerin %64,7'sinin ortorektik eğilimler gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin ON eğilim düzeylerinin: 1) Yemek yerken kalori hesabı yapanlarda yapmayanlara kıyasla; 2) Şişmanlama endişesi olanlarda olmayanlara kıyasla; 3) İkinci sınıfta öğrenim görenlerde 3. sınıftakilere kıyasla; istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin yaşam doyumu düzeylerinin ortalama bir değere sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaşam doyumu ve ON eğilimi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki durumu bulunamamıştır. Tam yağlı yoğurt, kuru baklagil, zeytinyağı, sütlü tatlı ve alkol tüketimi ile ON eğilimi arasında; dana eti, domates ve havuç tüketimi ile de yaşam doyumu düzeyi arasında anlamlı olarak farklılık olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 pandemisi döneminde, diyetisyen adayı öğrencilerin ortorektik yeme davranışları yaşam doyumu düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki durumu saptanamazken, bazı besinlerin tüketim sıklığının ON eğilimi ve yaşam doyumu üzerinde etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Anah tar Ke li me ler: Beslenme ve yeme bozuklukları; yemek tercihleri; COVID-19;kişisel memnuniyet; beslenme durumu ABS TRACT Objective:In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between level of the satisfaction with life (SWL) and orthorexia nervosa (ON) tendency of dietetic students and evaluation of the differences in food choices and consumption frequency in terms of ON tendency and SWL. Material and Methods: Two hundred and eighty three dietetic students at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University were included in this study. Data were collected by applying Satisfaction with Life Scale, ORTO-11 Scale, Food Consumption Frequency Questionnaires and personal data form to the participants through "Google Documents". Spearman's correlation analysis was used for determining the relationships between ON and SWL variables. T test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons of binary group variables, and analysis of variance test was used for multiple comparisons. Results: 64.7% of the students exhibited in a tendency for ON. The levels of ON tendency was found statistically signi...
