In this article eating disorders and their associated symptoms are discussed in

the students. The article highlights include that no gender difference is noticed; it also

added that sexual minority males, overweight students, most commonly have eating

disorders. It also stated that eating disorders lead to weight gain. To find out the truth

to these statements, they researched by experimenting with U.S college students, and

9713 students took part in 12 colleges. Males and females both took part in eating

disorder questionnaires, and the topic given to them was binge eating. Participant’s

certain characters were taken under consideration like the age of the students, their

degree and the level of their degree, their orientation sexually, ethnicity and race, first-

generation status, citizenship, academic and extra-curricular activities, and their body

weight. These characters were taken under consideration to evaluate his daily

activities and the amount of work he does daily. The results were very surprising. For

binge eating, it was 49 % for females and 30 % for males. And for compensatory

behavior, it was 31 % for females and 29 % for males, but as mentioned in the article,

everyone gained weight overnight and were obese by the end of the research. After

completing the research, these individuals were compared with those having a healthy

weight. From this comparison, 3.5 % of males and 2.0 % of females were affected.

Comparing it with binge eating, 2.1 % of males and 1.9 % of females were affected,

and in the use of compensatory behaviors, 1.5 % of males and 1.3 % of females got

affected. But according to the article, the researchers concluded that obese students

are important targets of campus-based eating disorders. Campuses do not provide

healthy food. Unhealthy food given to students is not good for their health and mind.

Unhealthy eating leads to poor concentration in studies as well, and also that the

smallest gender difference lies in the distribution of eating disorders.

This article discusses orthorexia nervosa, which leads to eating disorders.

Research shows dietary patterns and other eating disorder symptoms leading to

orthorexia nervosa. A cross-sectional survey was held in 2017. 1120 Polish college

students did it. The survey was about orthorexia nervosa and eating disorders. The

eating habits of the participants were discussed first. There were several questions

2.1

about their meals and the frequency of meals. The questionnaire regarding factor

analysis was conducted in which these five dietary patterns were evaluated are the

refined foods with high content of sugar, meat and their related products, products

with high fiber, alcohol, milk related dairy products and white bread with whole meal.

With this research among students, different categories were found. Students

with orthorexia and without eating disorders were having more healthy eating patterns

than those with eating disorders and without anorexia nervosa category. According to

the article, special diets increased the risk of orthorexia nervosa and eating disorders.

Students with orthorexia nervosa and without eating disorders and with orthorexia

nervosa and eating disorders less frequently intake high sugar and refined products.

Students who seldom eat meat and related products are less likely to have orthorexia

nervosa and eating disorder. So different eating habits lead to different problems.

Some cause orthorexia nervosa and eating disorder both, while some only cause

orthorexia nervosa. From the research, 28.3% of students were found with orthorexia

nervosa tendency. While 50.7% with eating disorder symptoms. 58.7% did not eat

their meals regularly. 61.1% eat four or more times in a day. 70% of students have

their meals every 3-4 hours. More females have their meals every 3-4 hours as

compared to males. No gender difference was observed for eating habits, according to

the article. Similarly, no gender difference was observed in skipping meals, and

12.6% of students claimed to have a special diet.

which are present in the college students. According to the article 4-10% of boys and

10-20% of girls in college are suffering from different type of eating disorders. 27%

of men and 44% of women in college diet to lose weight, and 19 and 20 years of

students suffer from anorexia and bulimia. Anorexia nervosa is a fatal eating disorder.

People with it have a severe fear of gaining weight. They restrict their calories and

have extremely low BMI. Bulimia psychological disorder. A person eats a lot of food

at once and then eliminates it via cleansing, including vomiting, excessive exercise, or

supplements. Binge eating or so-called overeating is most common. People with this

disorder do not have control over themselves and the amount of food they take in. It

causes serious physical and mental diseases. Orthorexia includes healthy eating and

proper exercises. Men usually suffer from muscle dysmorphia in which they have the

urge to build their muscles stronger and big by taking extreme steps. Diabulimia is

Reflection

I wanted to research the types and number of people that are currently

suffering from food disorders and because students are most careless out of all

generations, so I find suitable “Eating disorders in students” to be the topic of my

research. The keywords for my topic are “eating disorders,” “college health,” “binge

eating,” “bulimia nervosa,” “anorexia nervosa,” “diabulimia,” “adolescent,”

“orthorexia nervosa” etc. I have used a renowned source for my research, and I know

publishing dates. I have used most recent articles. 2 writers wrote this article based on

research conducted, and the other 2 gave information about its types and warning

signs. My first source is a wide information analytics business that helps

organizations, and the article was published in 2017. The reason for choosing the

second article is that it is from the institution of human nutrition sciences. It was most

recently published on 15 January 2020. Malia Dunn is a famous female writer. I

choose her article for my third summary, and the fourth one is from Dr. Ariane

Machin. She is a well-known writer and counselor. These are recent articles. The

publication date is very important for an article because it helps find the information

related to the specific year. The purpose of choosing recent articles is that all the

information should be recent and up to date. All points made by the authors are

extracted from proper research and published in popular journals in the field of food.

Information and sources are very authentic.
