Diabulimia - Cultural Determinants of Eating Disorders

Abstract: Eating disorders are becoming an increasingly common problem. This problem becomes particularly dangerous when it concerns specific groups in which the occurrence of any nutritional irregularities constitutes a serious threat to health and even life. This is the case for diabulimia, which I will present in more detail in this article. Personality predispositions and socio-cultural factors are determined as the main risk factors of development of eating disorders, inclusive diabulimia.
