Disordered Eating Behaviors in Young Adult Cancer Survivors: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
= 173) completed surveys assessing eating attitudes and behaviors, food security, and demographics. Briefly, 21.5% reported high concern for disordered eating attitudes, and 26.6% had moderate-severe binge eating risk. Both outcomes were significantly associated with weight-related concerns (β = 0.45 and β = 0.46) and socioeconomic advantage (β = 0.31 and β = 0.22). Food insecurity predicted higher binge eating (β = 0.22). Screening, education, and resource provision in survivorship care are needed.
