    Tomori, Martina ; Rus-Makovec, Maja
    Objective: In a representative sample of 4700 Slovene high school students, weexamined their eating behavior and its correlations with some psychosocial and psychological characteristics with the aim ... of identifying the main risk factors for disordered eating. Method: Using a questionnaire which also included Zungs Self-rating Depression Scale and Rosenbergs Self-Esteem Scale, we compared girls (n=2507) and boys (n=2193) with regard to their satisfactionwith their body weight, weight-reducing activites, and frequency of binge eating. We assessed their family relationships, abuse of alcohol and other psychoactive drugs, suicidal ideation, and suicidal tendences, as well as their level of depression and self-esteem. Results: The results showed significant differences between girls and boys, between groups of those who were satisfied and those who were dissatisfied with their body weight, and also between groups which indulged in frequent binge eating, and those which did not. Conclusion: Within a general population of adolescents, there is a substantial number of subjects with disoredered eating behavior, some part of whom are at high risk for eating disorders.
