Development and validation of the Lebanese Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory (LONI)
The LONI is a valid tool for assessing ON, particularly in accounting for Lebanese and culturally similar populations. The scale's unidimensional structure allows for straightforward calculation of the score, making it practical for both clinical and research applications, while offering a unique advantage in considering regional dietary patterns compared with existing ON screening tools due to its cultural specificity and psychometric strengths. The ON prevalence was high in the present sample, underscoring the significance of sociocultural and behavioral factors in its manifestation.
