目的 近年来，人们对病理性健康饮食（通常称为神经性正常饮食）越来越感兴趣。该领域的许多文献都是关于特定人群中 ON 的点患病率，根据研究的不同，患病率范围从不到 1% 到接近 90%。尽管存在这种兴趣，但尚未对那些具有病理性健康饮食的人是否可以通过识别饮食失调的筛查仪器进行检测。本研究检查自我报告患有 ON 的个体在 26 项饮食态度测试 (EAT-26) 中的得分是否在临床范围内。方法 对从临床和非临床环境中抽取的个体 (n = 354) 进行 EAT-26 测试，以确定那些自认为患有 ON 的人的得分是否在表明饮食失调的范围内。结果 自我报告患有 ON 的参与者的平均 EAT-26 得分为 30.89 (SD 12.60)，该得分范围促使个人就是否存在饮食失调寻求更多建议（20 分及以上的分数范围表明可能存在饮食失调）。此外，ON 组的得分与报告其他饮食失调的得分没有差异，但显着高于非临床对照组。结论 我们的研究结果表明，可能的饮食失调筛查工具对病理健康饮食很敏感（但没有特异性）。
Purpose In recent years, there has been growing interest in pathologically healthful eating, often called orthorexia nervosa (ON). Much of the literature in this area has been about point prevalence of ON in particular populations, which range from less than 1% to nearly 90% depending on the study. Despite this interest, there has been no extensive examination of whether those with pathologically healthful eating are detected by screening instruments that identify disordered eating. This study examines whether individuals who self-report suffering from ON score in the clinical range on the 26-item Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Method Individuals (n = 354) sampled from both clinical and non-clinical settings were administered the EAT-26 to determine whether those who self-identify as having ON scored in a range that suggests disordered eating. Results Participants who self-report suffering from ON had a mean EAT-26 score of 30.89 (SD 12.60) scoring in a range that urges individuals to seek additional advice on whether there is an eating disorder present (scores of 20 and higher fall in a range suggesting a possible eating disorder). Furthermore, those in the ON group scored no differently than those reporting other eating disorders, but significantly higher than a non-clinical control group. Conclusions Our findings indicate that a screening instrument for a possible eating disorder is sensitive to pathologically healthful eating (but has no specificity).
