Revisiting the relationship between eating disturbances and cultural origin: a focus on adult women in 14 community studies

Eating Disorders
Marjorie Feinson

Abstract

Are there differences in prevalence and predictors of eating disturbances among adult women (age 30+) from diverse cultural backgrounds? Most research has explored these issues with young age groups, although the results may also be relevant to adults. Fourteen community-based studies with culturally diverse samples are examined. A majority of studies (70%) reveals no significant group differences in prevalence rates. In contrast, significantly different clinical predictors emerge from multivariate analyses despite groups having similar frequency rates. Collectively, findings offer a complex, sometimes contradictory and inconclusive picture. Additional research is warranted for developing evidence-based interventions sensitive to adults from diverse cultural traditions.
