Children whose parents did not go to university more likely to develop an eating disorder
A new study claims that parents who receive the minimum amount of education are at risk of developing eating disorders.
Research published by the American Medical Association (JAMA) magazine on Wednesday reveals that the probability of experiencing symptoms of eating disorders in the youth years of children from deprived pasts is higher.
Unlike children whose parents do not go to any further education after secondary school, their parents are likely to develop irregular eating symptoms.
“Socioeconomic deprivation is an important determinant of weak mental and physical health in children, or he says.
“Children from the most non -households experience a higher mental health problems such as depression and anxiety compared to those living in the least deprived households.”
Symptoms had problematic eating behaviors, weight and shape concerns, and 14, 16 and 18 years old body dissatisfaction.
There were about 8,000 participants in the study conducted by University College London doctoral students. He analyzed various factors, including parental income, education, professional and financial difficulties.
The researchers added: “We have identified, depending on the fact that adolescents reported any excessive eating, liquidation or restrictive nutrition (excessive diet and fasting) or any of these behaviors reported to eating, liquidation or fasting (excessive diet and fasting) at the age of 14, 16 and 18.
“As a secondary result, we used eating, liquidation and restrictive meals to investigate special relations with socioeconomic position.”
He said that eating disorders are believed to be more common in people from higher socioeconomic pasts, but it is believed that evidence is mixed.
It also notes that children with low socioeconomic backgrounds face more obstacles in diagnosing and taking care.
