Abstract
Introduction: This study investigates the association between disordered eating behaviors, body image perceptions, and mental and physical health of nutrition and dietetic students in Mumbai City. It aims to provide insights for tailored interventions. Methodology: Employing a cross-sectional design, 110 female students aged 18-25 were purposively sampled. Data collection included self-structured and validated questionnaires. Data analysis involved using SPSS to analyze data presented as Mean±SD or frequency (percentage). Statistical tests included chi-square, T-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Pearson's correlations, with significance at p<0.05. Results: Significant weight differences (p=0.05) were observed between individuals with and without eating disorders, with non-disordered individuals having higher mean weight. Higher macronutrient and micronutrient intake correlated with increased body weight (p<0.05), particularly in non-disordered female students (p=0.001). All dietary intake variables showed strong negative correlations with disordered eating attitudes (p=0.001) but positive correlations with body image and mental health indicators (p=0.001). Poorer body image and mental health were linked to higher disordered eating attitudes (p=0.001), associated with increased emotional eating behaviors (p=0.001). Positive body image perceptions were tied to better mental health (p=0.001), while increased emotional eating tendencies were associated with lower mental health and quality of life (p=0.001). Conclusion: This study highlights the significant impact of disordered eating on both nutrition-related health indicators and mental well-being, urging comprehensive interventions.
