Secular trends in the incidence of anorexia nervosa: integrative review of population-based studies

Article Abstract:

Research on the experience of anorexia nervosa revealed that it can cause feelings of isolation, self-injurious behaviors, depression, sexual dysfunctions, suicidal ideas and behaviors and early death. It was also observed that this eating disorder is most predominant among young women.

The initiation and the maintenance of dieting: structural models for large-scale longitudinal investigations

Article Abstract:

Two different structural models are used to investigate the factors that influence young women's engagement to weight loss dieting, despite their knowledge that it has negative physical and psychological effects. Results show that social influence is the primary factor why female adolescents are into weight loss or 'cosmetic dieting.' This has become a normative activity among teenage women.
