One hundred healthy women over age 65 were recruited for a study to determine differences in nutrient intakes by living arrangement and to examine the effect of demographic characteristics, health habits, and social contacts on nutrient intakes. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the mean intakes for calcium and riboflavin between women living alone and women living with a spouse. There were no significant differences in health habits by living arrangement, but women living alone were more likely to have fewer social contacts than women living with a spouse (x2 = 38.25; p < 0.001). Education, physical activity, and smoking were the most important predictors of nutrient intakes.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore emotional functioning in individuals with varying levels of orthorexia nervosa (ON) symptoms. Given the established links between emotion dysregulation and other eating disorders (EDs), and the conceptualization of ON within the ED spectrum, this research sought to examine the relationships between ON symptomatology and emotion regulation strategies, alexithymia, and beliefs about emotions.
Methods: A large sample (N = 562) completed self-report measures with high psychometric properties, assessing ON traits (E-DOS), emotion regulation strategies (DERS-SF and ERQ), alexithymia (TAS-20), and beliefs about emotions (ERQ).

We examined eating pathology and psychosocial functioning across subjective recovery stages in SGM individuals ( = 196).

The lack of recognition of overvaluation of shape and weight may lead to overlooking, and consequently failure to address this construct during treatment.
