    include
  • Low self-esteem

15
Genetic Factors
  • Anorexia nervosa occurs eight times more often in
    people who have relatives with the disorder.
    However, experts do not know exactly what the
    inherited factor may be.
  • In addition, anorexia nervosa occurs more often
    in families with a history of depression or
    alcohol abuse.

16
How Do People withEating Disorders View Life?
  • Food and eating dominate the life of a person
    with anorexia nervosa.
  • Distorted view of weight and shape become the
    main or even sole measures of self-worth.
  • Maintaining an extremely low weight becomes
    equated with beauty, success, self-esteem, and
    self-control and is not seen as a problem.
  • People with an eating disorder think about food,
    weight, and body image constantly.

17
Media Influence on Teens
  • Women are bombarded with messages from the media
    that they must diet to meet this standard.
    However, this idealized ultra-thin body shape is
    almost impossible for most women to achieve since
    it does not fit with the biological and inherited
    factors that determine natural body weight.

18
MEDIA MYTHS
19
Media Fashion Influences on Eating Disorders
The influence of the media and fashion on the
proliferation of eating disorders cannot be
refuted. From an early age we are bombarded with
images and messages that reinforce the idea to be
happy and successful we must be thin. Today, you
cannot read a magazine or newspaper, turn on the
television, listen to the radio, or shop at the
mall without being assaulted with the message
that fat is bad. Adolescents often feel fatally
flawed if their weight, hips, and breasts don't
match up to those of models and actors.
20
Influences of Models Fashion on Eating Disorders
Most fashion models are thinner than 98 of
American women. The average American woman is
5'4" tall and weighs 140 pounds. The average
American model is 5'11" and weighs 117 pounds.
21
The resulting cycle makes it more difficult to
stop the disorder and become healthy again.
