Cultural factors of eating disorders
Abstract
Eating disorders are complex conditions that arise from a variety of factors, including
physical, psychological, cultural and social issues. This article presents a character of
cultural factors, the influence of media images, which create its own definitions of beauty
and attractiveness.
A relative new phenomenon is a wave of pro-anorexic Web sites, where women and
girls who indulge in anorexia nervosa attempt to glorify their chosen lifestyle.
The author tries to present a cultural foundation of this problem and shows possible
social consequences.
