Risk factors for eating disorders among undergraduate nursing students
Conclusion: Undergraduate nursing students presented risk factors for development of eating disorders with the presence of preoccupation with body shape and altered eating behaviors. The multifactorial etiology of eating disorders suggests that research should emphasize prevention, focusing on the development of a positive concept in young people about their self-image and developing critical thinking about image patterns, media and social impositions.
