Body Dissatisfaction Can Lead to Eating Disorders Especially During Perimenopause in Women: Study

News 18  

Eating disorders are a group of conditions characterised by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake. A recently published study has revealed that body dissatisfaction is a primary cause of eating disorders, especially during perimenopause in women. The study, in the opinion of the researchers, supports the notion that dissatisfaction with body image is a significant risk factor for eating disorders throughout one’s life, but notably during middle age. According to Dr Stephanie Faubion, medical director of NAMS, this study, like many other studies on eating disorders, also demonstrates that body image remains a major cause of eating disorders in midlife women.
