“…This is in line with other findings of a link between parental education and eating disorders in women but not men 8 , though it is important to note that the low sample size for men and resulting reduced statistical power may partially explain this finding. Thus, in female students, eating attitudes predict more severe short term financial difficulties in the short-term, but financial difficulties also predict greater eating attitudes up to a year later.…”

“…An increased risk of AN was also found among females who stated that they "often compare their future prospects with others." [Ahrén et al, 2012]. In another study [Dellava et al, 2012] an attempt was undertaken to assess whether maternal recall of childhood feeding and eating practices differed across anorexia nervosa subtypes.…”

(Prof. E. Babicz-Zielińska) trition…, 2003]. Obesity is a chronic non-infectious disease, which signifi cantly deteriorates the quality of life, shortens its length and constitutes a risk factor for many other metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer of uterus, colon and breast cancer, hypertensive disease, degenerative arthritis, stroke and coronary heart disease. The increase in relative body mass index (BMI) by a single unit increases the risk of diabetes by 20-50% and the risk of cancer by 3-10% [Comparative quantifi cation..., 2004].According to estimates by WHO experts in the world more than 1 billion people have an excessive body weight, i.e. more than 300 million are obese and more than 750 million have overweight [World health statistics, 2010]. The overweight affects more men, and obesity more women, therefore women may experience more negative effects of excessive body fat. In Poland, the excessive body weight is observed in 40% to 60% of adults, depending on a survey, including obesity typical of 15% to 20% of adults [Wądołowska, 2009]. The occurrence of excessive weight among children and adolescents does not exceed 15%.The eating disorders seem to be very likely the social problem, even if the data on the extent of the irregularity is fragmented. The eating disorders have morbidity and mortality rates that are among the highest of any mental disorders [Herpertz-Dahlmann et al., 2012]. It is estimated that in the U.S. The eating disorders have been reviewed based on state-of-art of contemporary psychology, medicine and nutrition science, with a special emphasis put on different symptoms and forms, origins and testing methods. Among promoting eating disorders, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, night eating disorder, sleep-related eating disorder are among offi cially approved and investigated. Among disorders resulting from lack of acceptance of own appearance, anorexia nervosa and bigorexia nervosa are the most serious improper ones. Disorders arising from health care include orthorexia nervosa and recently pregorexia. Different origins of eating disorders are considered, divided into three groups: social, psychological and pathological. The desire to possess a slim shapely silhouette and young appearance, usually under pressure of a social group, may result in disorders such as anorexia nervosa, pregorexia, ageorexia, and bigorexia nervosa. On the other hand, the focusing on eating mainly the biologically pure food, being a purely psychological and individual problem, may be a source of orthorexia nervosa. Majority of disorders have a psychological background constituting the escape and an answer to everyday life problems diffi cult to overcome. Recently, pathology is often considered as an additional and important determinant, which may cause or enhance the appearance of binge eating or night eating disorder. The eating disorders, if not subject to proper therapy and advising, can tend to incline and develop. The further research in order to properly recognise the eating disorders,...

“…Prospective findings from the Stockholm Youth Cohort revealed that higher parental education levels predicted EDs in females, but not males [86]. Individuals who had more full siblings demonstrated decreased risk, whereas those with more halfsiblings showed higher rates of EDs [86]. With regard to differences between discrete EDs, a sister-pair study of women with AN and BN revealed that participants with AN, but not BN, had mothers with higher maternal anxiety during pregnancy and higher maternal overprotection [63].…”

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (i.e., DSM-5) currently recognizes three primary eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. The origins of eating disorders are complex and remain poorly understood. However, emerging research highlights a dimensional approach to understanding the multifactorial etiology of eating disorders as a means to inform assessment, prevention, and treatment efforts. Guided by research published since 2011, this review summarizes recent findings elucidating risk factors for the development of eating disorders across the lifespan in three primary domains: (1) genetic/biological, (2) psychological, and (3) socio-environmental. Prospective empirical research in clinical samples with full-syndrome eating disorders is emphasized with added support from cross-sectional studies, where relevant. The developmental stages of puberty and the transition from adolescence to young adulthood are discussed as crucial periods for the identification and prevention of eating disorders. The importance of continuing to elucidate the mechanisms underlying gene by environmental interactions in eating disorder risk is also discussed. Finally, controversial topics in the field of eating disorder research and the clinical implications of this research are summarized.

Psychosocial determinants and family background in anorexia nervosa—results from the Stockholm birth cohort study

Abstract: Although the study is based on a low number of cases, it confirms earlier findings of higher maternal education among individuals with eating disorders in similar cohorts.
