Anorexia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, an unrelenting pursuit of thinness, and a distorted body image. It often leads to dangerously low body weight relative to an individual's age and height. This disorder is marked by significant physical and psychological consequences, making it one of the most life-threatening psychiatric illnesses.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Nutritional Science

Background:

  • Eating disorders (EDs) are severe psychiatric conditions with rising prevalence, particularly post-pandemic.
  • Young adults, especially university students, are a vulnerable demographic for EDs.
  • Limited data exists on ED risk among Italian university students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence of ED risk and disordered eating behaviors in Italian university students.
  • To examine associations between ED risk and socio-demographic/anthropometric variables.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of combined screening methods.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional online screening of 401 Italian university students (August 2023 - February 2026).
  • Utilized validated Italian versions of the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q 6.0).
  • Collected self-reported anthropometric data (BMI) and performed multiple linear regression analyses.

Main Results:

  • 37.9% had abnormal BMI (19.7% underweight, 18.2% overweight/obese).
  • 28.4% exceeded EAT-26 cut-offs; 21.0% exceeded EDE-Q 6.0 cut-offs, with higher rates in women.
  • Only 45.4% had no risk indicators from combined screening.

Conclusions:

  • A significant portion of Italian university students, especially women, exhibit ED risk indicators.
  • Combined anthropometric and questionnaire screening offers a more thorough risk assessment.
  • Multidimensional screening programs are essential for early detection and intervention.
