Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between eating disorder (ED) attitudes and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Forty women (M age = 18.85) agreed to participate in this study. A regression analysis was used to statistically examine this relationship. The criterion variable was the risk of CVD. The predictor variables were the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 subscales. Drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction accounted for 45% (adjusted R(2) =.449) of the variance in the participant's CVD risk score. The knowledge gained from this study of this relationship would be beneficial to health care professionals responsible for primary and secondary prevention.
