Abstract
Thank you for providing the opportunity to reply to Dr. Canan’ Letter to the Editor [1], written with respect to our article ‘The association between internet addiction and disordered eating attitudes among Turkish high school students’. We thank Dr. Canan for his interest in our study. We are grateful for the insightful comments to our manuscript and we are happy to respond to his comments as follows. As it can be seen, we have cited the study conducted by Canan et al., (reference #6). ‘In a very recent study conducted in Turkey among high school students, a significant positive correlation was found between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) scores [2]. It was not our intention to advocate that our article is the just first study, which is investigating the relationship between IA and disordered eating attitudes (DEAs) in our country. Our aim was drawing the readers’ attention to the paucity of research in this area. Kindly, we would like to revise our statement as ‘there have been a few studies investigating the relationship between IA and DEAs in our country’ in an erratum notice [3, 4]. Compliance with ethical standards
