Abstract
To investigate the impact of Chinese parents' traditional feeding habits on the development of their children's eating disorders, 35 patients suffering eating disorders and a randomly selected 35 normal young people as the control group were studied in this project. A force-feeding score graph was designed, and the 2 groups and their parents were asked to rate their force-feeding scores. The scores of the patients with eating disorders and the scores of their parents are significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01; P<0.01). The scores of the children in the two groups are significantly higher than those of the parents' respectively (P<0.01, P<0.01). Our study suggests that the Chinese traditional feeding habits have significant impact on the development of eating disorders.
