| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Background: Education institutions are the cradle to adulthood, patterns followed by an individual during this period have a comprehensive effect on the individual. Eating disorders are mental disorders in which, early screening and nutritional education can help prevent its ill effects in adulthood. Objective To estimate the prevalence and identify some determinants of eating disorders among college students in South Goa Materials and methods The cross sectional study conducted amongst college students of South Goa district using Eating Attitude Test Scoring (EATS)-26 Tool and was carried out from 1st September to 31st October 2021. Undergraduate students who have completed more than 1 year in college were eligible to participate in the study. Data was collected using pre designed questionnaire distributed electronically and analysed using SPSS Version 25. Results 480 students participated in the study consisting of 265 (55%) females and 215 (45%) males. 182 (38%) of the students had EAT-26 score ≥20, suggestive of presence of risk of eating disorder. The mean of the EAT-26 subscales, were as follows a) Dieting: 4.1351 ±0.8479 b) Bulimia and Food Preoccupation: 4.7290±0.8927, and c) Oral Control 4.0974 ±0.8173. The overall mean EAT-26 score was 18.73±12.17. 167 students had normal BMI (18.5-23),86 had BMI <18.5 and 227 had BMI >23.There was a significant association between abnormal BMI and high EAT-26 score. Sex seems to be an effect modifier of the association between eating behavior and college students. Conclusion The study shows a high prevalence of eating disorders among the college students hence it is important to provide nutritional education to college students to reverse the trend. |
