Assessment of the relation between orthorexia nervosa and self-esteem in high school students
This study showed a strong link between orthorexia nervosa tendencies and self-esteem among high school students. The results suggest that low self-esteem increases the risk of orthorexia nervosa. Additionally, factors such as dieting, dissatisfaction with weight, regular exercise, and beliefs in organic nutrition are associated with tendencies toward orthorexia nervosa.
