Japanese girls' attitudes to eating disorders vary with age, knowledge.
2004 JUN 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Psychiatry studied thinness and related eating pathology in high-school girls to determine the relation between these conditions and the girls' understanding of eating disorders.
"In a Tokyo high school, the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 and the Child Depression Inventory were completed by girls aged 13-14 (n=243) and 15-16 (n=291), together with questionnaires on their knowledge of eating disorders," Aya Nishizono-Maher and colleagues explained.
They found that "Japanese teenagers are comparable to Western college students in the distribution of the drive for thinness scores.
"Senior high-school girls show a stronger drive for thinness, but this is not closely related to their body mass index (BMI)," the researchers reported. "Among junior high school girls, the degree of thinness is related to a higher BMI."
