Eating Disorders Causes and Risk Factors

Eating disorders are complex conditions that arise from a combination of long-standing behavioral, biological, emotional, psychological, interpersonal, and social factors. While eating disorders may begin with preoccupations with food and weight, they are most often about much more than food. Risk factors include:

Genetics and biology (certain genetic mutations and irregular hormone functions)

Psychological issues such as obsessive-compulsive features, depression, and anxiety

Societal pressures that glorify thinness and place value on obtaining the “perfect body”
