Methods : Eating disorders were assessed using the Eating Attitude Test(EAT-26). The subjects were categorized into the two groups by the risk of eating disorder as normal and eating disorder group.
Results : The dissatisfaction of body image was higher in eating disorder group than normal group (p<0.001). The normal group and eating disorder group subjects had significantly different gaps between their desired BMI and perceived BMI(p<0.001). Also, The actual perceived current body image of two groups were significantly different from their desired body image and perceived body image(p<0.001). Almost all subjects want to be thinner even in the normal group. These results indicated that female Middle school students who have higher eating disorder score seemed to have more body image distortion and dissatisfaction of body image. However, any significant difference in dietary quality among the two groups was not observed. Overall, intakes of calcium, iron and vitamin C (46.3%, 69.8% and 61.2% of Recommended Nutrient Intake(RNI) were not sufficient. Intakes of sodium (214.9% of Adequate Intake (AI)) were excess.
