Nutritional knowledge, insulin resistance, and the risk of orthorexia nervosa: a comparative cross-sectional study among polish women
The findings indicate that while women with insulin resistance benefit from improved nutritional knowledge in managing their condition, this knowledge may simultaneously increase their risk of developing orthorexia nervosa. Balancing the promotion of healthy eating habits with strategies that prevent the emergence of distorted eating behaviors is crucial. Future interventions should emphasize flexibility, psychological support, and individualized guidance to ensure both metabolic and mental well-being.
