The increasing number of studies over the past decade has shown that female athletes are at a high risk for developing eating disorders (McNulty, Adams, Anderson, & Affenito, 2001; Picard, 1999). However, some recent studies have found that athletes are not at a greater risk for developing eating disorders (Carter, 2002; Davis & Strochan, 2001). In addition, the majority of the previous studies were done at an NCAA Division I setting. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine eating attitudes in relation to eating disorders among undergraduate female athletes and non-athletes at an NCAA Division II university. Also, this study examined the prevalence of eating disorders among female athletes based on certain sports, and determined relationships between eating disorders and a number of variables, such as self-esteem, body image, social pressures, and body mass index (BMI), that are thought to contribute to eating disorders. A total of 132 students was utilized for the research and consisted of 60 athletes and 65 non-athletes. The athletes were softball (n = 11), soccer (n = 12), track (n = 8), cross-country (n = 5), basketball (n = 9), and volleyball (n = 15). The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) was used to determine who may be at a higher risk for the development of eating disorders or who may actually have an eating disorder. Participants who scored 20 or above on the EAT-26 were considered to be at a higher risk. The results of this study showed that less than one percent of the subjects scored of 20 or above. No significant difference exists in eating attitudes in relation to eating disorders between athletes and non-athletes. Also, this study found no significant differences in eating disorders between sports. Additionally, no significant relationships were found between eating disorders and self-esteem, social pressures, body image, and BMI. Some of the findings were inconsistent with previous findings, which may be due to less pressure from coaches and teammates in a Division II school. Picard (1999) found that the demand to perform well is stronger and there is more pressure in Division I athletics, which may result in a higher risk for developing eating disorders in Division I athletic teams than Division II athletic teams. However, more research needs to be done in this area. Future studies should also look at how much impact coaches have on the development of eating disorders in their athletes.Keyword(s): athletics/sports, disease prevention, health promotion
