“…There has been considerable enthusiasm recently for genetic expla nations of the eating disorders-anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge-eating disorders (BED)-and their symptoms, including body dissatisfaction. There have been several reviews of the recent explosion of research in this area (e.g., Bulik & Tozzi, 2004;Mazzeo, Landt, van Furth, & Bulik, 2006). In general, these reviews suggest family aggregation of eating disorders and moderate to high heritability estimates.…”

Body image, eating disorders, and obesity could each have their own chapters on risk and protective factors. Yet, there are at least two compelling reasons to consider all three topics in the same chapter. First, body image, eating disorders, and obesity share some risk factors. This is evident from examining Tables 7.1 to 7.4. For example, media images may contribute to body image in both boys and girls as well as eating problems in girls (see, e.g.,

The authors review research on risk factors for eating disorders, restricting their focus to studies in which clear precedence of the hypothesized risk factor over onset of the disorder is established. They illustrate how studies of sociocultural risk factors and biological factors have progressed on parallel tracks and propose that major advances in understanding the etiology of eating disorders require a new generation of studies that integrate these domains. They discuss how more sophisticated and novel conceptualizations of risk and causal processes may inform both nosology and intervention efforts.
