Obesity linked to eating disorders Oct 31, 2008
But disordered eating made weight loss less likely, and unrealistic objectives - in which anything short of thinness was considered failure - meant obese young women might miss out on the health benefits of modest weight loss, such as improvements in blood pressure or insulin resistance. "For people who are very overweight, to become thin they have to make themselves ill," said Professor Hay, whose study is published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
