Weight and diet concerns in Finnish female and male athletes
Factors related to eating disorders were studied in five groups of female (N = 173) and male (N = 190) athletes, and in female (N = 79) and male (N = 61) controls. Factors associated with menstrual status were also examined.
Result: the risk for eating disorders is dependent on the type of sport. The claim that some female athlete groups are at greater risk than controls did not receive evidence.
