Mental health and sociodemographics profile as predictors of eating attitude

The purpose of this study is to explore whether sociodemographic profile, psychological well-being, anxiety and depression are able to make predictions on eating disorder. This study has 308 respondents, 114 males and 194 females with mean age of M=21.32. The results in this study have shown that sociodemographic profile and psychological well-being are not able to predict eating disorder. Anxiety and depression are positively significant and are the factors that predict pathological eating. Eating disorder increases as depression and anxiety increase.
