sexual abuse and eating disorders  

Definition

  • While some research suggests a link between having a history of sexual abuse and developing an eating disorder, the nature and strength of this association is not yet known. For example, some believe sexual abuse is a risk factor of eating disorders, while others assert that sexual abuse is a risk factor of general psychopathology.
