Description
Abainash Tekola and co-authors measure disordered eating among school teens in Harar, Ethiopia, in work from 2024. Harmful eating patterns stunt teen growth and shadow adult health. Data from Ethiopia, and from this town in particular, were nearly absent.
Over 1,100 secondary students answered questionnaires in mid-2022. A standard twenty-six-item test flagged risky eating attitudes at a set score. About twenty-eight percent of students screened positive by that rule. Regression analysis sorted which background factors tracked the risk. The study gives local schools and clinics a first baseline. Screening and support planning can build on the measured rate.
