Abstract

Objective: To investigate the symptoms of depression and anxiety in adult women at high risk of eating disorder and their influencing factors, and to provide theoretical basis for formulating relevant intervention measures.
Methods: From March 2020 to February 2021, 1 344 adult female individuals at high risk of eating disorder were selected for online screening using Eating Attitude Test (EAT). The depressive status of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the scores of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7), and general demographic data were investigated to explore the depression and anxiety symptoms and their influencing factors of adult women at high risk of eating disorder.
Results: For adult women at high risk of eating disorder, having a lower age and being single are more likely to be depressed; having a lower age and a lower body mass index (BMI) are more likely to have anxiety.
Conclusion: The factors influencing the depressive and anxiety symptoms of adult women at high risk of eating disorder are complex, and targeted intervention strategies should be taken according to the corresponding characteristics to reduce depression or anxiety.
