“…This may suggest that ON should not be considered as a subset of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the American study, Bundros et al [49] have obtained the same results (r = 0.19, p \ 0.01). In contrast with our results, the Turkish study [14] showed that subjects, who displayed pathological eating attitudes (b = -0.25) and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (b = -0.17), were more likely to display orthorexic behaviors.…”

“…At present, some studies [9,26,50] revealed that there is a correlation between ON and body image concerns in females (in contrast to previous case studies [6,22,[51][52][53] reporting no body image concerns or issues regarding weight in ON subjects). In addition, one study has shown the positive association between ON (measured by BOT) and body dysmorphic disorder (measured by BDDQ) among college students [49].…”

“…Eating styles and behaviors have always been and are still currently deeply shaped by the context where people live, encompassing cultural, social and environmental factors [1]. For instance, Western societies have long been influenced by theoretical constructs on the purity of the body obtained through food restrictions, in a mind over matter framework that extends from classical culture and early Christian beliefs to contemporaneity [2].…”

Background The amount of research about orthorexic attitudes and behaviours has increased in the last five years, but is still mainly based on descriptive and anecdotal data, yielding a variety of prevalence data and inconsistent results. The interplay between socio-cultural context and orthorexia has been poorly investigated and is still far from being understood. Method Multicentre, cross-sectional study involving Italian ( N = 216), Polish ( N = 206) and Spanish ( N = 242) university students, assessed through a protocol including informed consent, socio-demographic and anamnestic data sheet and self-administered questionnaires (ORTO-15, Eating Attitudes Test- 26 [EAT-26], Temperament and Character Inventory [TCI]). Results Higher prevalence of orthorexia (as described by the ORTO-15 cutoff) was found in Poland. Female gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), current Eating Disorder, dieting, EAT-26 score ≥ 20 and low/medium Persistence were associated with orthorexia in the whole sample. The cross-cultural comparison showed several differences among the three subgroups of students. Conclusions The associations found between orthorexic attitudes, self-reported current eating disorder, BMI and adherence to a dieting need to be supported by further research. The differences among students from the three countries seem to suggest a possible rolve for cultural elements in the construct of orthorexia.

“…Based on the studies of obsessive-compulsive symptoms on college students, the degree of college students' obsessive-compulsive symptoms was affected by gender and grade (Bundros et al, 2016). This study thus further analyzed the interactions between gender and grade on the obsessive-compulsive symptoms of college students.…”

We used a random sample survey of 250 college students in Suzhou district in China to explore the relationships among parenting behavior, perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive symptom, as well as to construct a structural equation model. The results showed that college students' understanding of parenting behavior is above average, they have strong perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. College students' obsessive-compulsive symptoms were affected by demographic variables, with gender and grade having significant interaction; parenting behavior causes college students' obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and perfectionism played a mediating role. Understanding the mechanism of parenting behavior and perfectionism on college students' obsessive-compulsive symptoms can provide references to the mental health counseling for college students.
