Overview

Nutrition and eating disorders concern the relationship between disordered eating behaviors and the body's nutritional state. Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and related conditions are characterized by persistent disturbances in eating and in attitudes toward food, weight, and body shape. Because eating patterns are altered, these conditions are closely tied to nutritional consequences, which can include energy and macronutrient imbalances, micronutrient deficiencies, electrolyte disturbances, and changes in body composition. The nutritional dimension is central both to understanding how these disorders affect health and to supporting recovery, where careful dietary management and monitoring are often part of treatment. Within nutrition science, this topic also extends to emerging patterns of problematic eating, such as orthorexia nervosa, an excessive preoccupation with eating foods perceived as healthy. International Journal of Nutrition has published peer-reviewed, open-access research in this area, including an exploratory study of orthorexia nervosa and quality of life among young adults, reflecting the journal's interest in how eating behaviors intersect with well-being. This page gathers open-access nutrition research relevant to disordered eating for readers seeking primary evidence.
