A new study claims that children who have received minimum education are at greater risk of eating disorders.
Research published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on Wednesday shows that children who come from more deprived backgrounds experience symptoms of eating disorders in their adolescence.
Those whose parents did not go to another education after their high school are likely to cause disordered symptoms in the face of children whose parents go to college.
“Economic deprivation is a major determinant of mental and physical health in children, according to the study.
“Children of the most deprived households are more prevalent in mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, compared to those who live in the least deprived families.”
Symptoms included problematic dietary behaviors, concerns about weight and shape, and body dissatisfaction at the age of 14, 16 and 18 years old.
The study, conducted by PhD students in London, included nearly 8,000 participants. These factors analyzed several factors, including parental income, education, job and financial problems.
“We have defined eating disorder as a binary variable that teens have reported food, eating or eating (over -fasting) or none of these behaviors over the past 12 months at the age of 14, 16 and 18 years,” the researchers added.
“We used food, eating and eating separately as a secondary result to investigate their specific communication with their economic and economic position.”
This is often believed that eating disorders are more common in people who are from higher economic and economic backgrounds, but mixed evidence.
It also points out that children have a lower economic background in receiving and taking care of more obstacles.
Washington Post The reports reported from a study in 2021 show that 15.5 % of women than more deprived backgrounds experience body dissatisfaction compared to 12.2 % of those who are less deprived of backgrounds.
The gap increased among young adults, with 22.7 percent of low -income people unhappy with 8.1 percent of people with high incomes.
It is also reported that 37.2 percent of girls at the highest income reported unhealthy behaviors such as jumping from meals, clearing or laxatives compared to 53.5 percent of young girls in lower brackets.
