Abstract
Research has indicated that 4 to 19 of female college students have eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, anorexia athletica, or bulimia. To determine the extent to which preoccupation with weight and tendencies toward eating disorders are problems among female athletes, we analyzed the responses to a questionnaire completed by 168 college women - 101 nonathletes, 35 athletes whose sports emphasize leanness, and 32 athletes whose sports do not emphasize leanness. The results showed that 6 of the nonathletes, 20 of the athletes in sports that emphasize leanness, and 10 of all the athletes were either exceptionally preoccupied with weight or had tendencies toward eating disorders.
