Orthorexia symptoms correlate with perceived muscularity and body fat, not BMI.

Purpose: This study explored how different body-type measures relate to orthorexia symptomatology.

Method: Participants were 465 undergraduates, who completed an online survey with self-reported height and weight items, a muscularity figure rating scale, a body fat figure rating scale, and the Eating Habits Questionnaire (EHQ; Gleaves, Graham, & Ambwani, 2013).

Results: BMI was not significantly related to any of the EHQ subscale scores.
