OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate body weight satisfaction, eating attitudes and dietary intake related to eating disorders of female junior high school students in Taiwan. METHODS: In a cross- sectional survey, 835 female junior high school students participated in this study. The questionnaire items in- cluded respondents’ demographic information as well as weight and body image concerns. Developmental and attitudinal scales such as the body shape-related teasing scale, Pubertal Development Scale, Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and 24-hour dietary recall were also used to collect data. Data were analyzed using a Stu- dent’s t test, chi-square test and logistic regression. RESULTS: Disturbed eating attitudes and behaviors were found in 10.4 % of participants (measured by EAT-26≥20). The multivariate logistic regressions showed that disturbed eating attitudes and behaviors were associated with weight/shape-related teasing experiences and dis- satisfaction with body weight. The reported intakes of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, cholesterol, zinc and vi- tamins B-6, B-12, were significantly lower in participants with disturbed eating patterns than in participants without disturbed eating. Conversely, participants with disturbed eating patterns had higher dietary and crude fi- ber intake than participates without disturbed eating. CONCLUSION: Disturbed eating behaviors exist among female adolescents in Taiwan, and these behaviors jeopardize their necessary dietary intake requirements. More research using the EAT-26 as a measure to predict the quality and quantity of food intake among female adoles- cents warrants further study.
