Abstract

Body appearance always has a strong connection with eating disorders and an active lifestyle. Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate the relationship between BMI, eating disorders and the perception of body image among Malay college female athletes. One hundred and sixty respondents aged 18-22 voluntarily participated in the survey. The EAT-26 questionnaire determined eating disorders, while CDRS determined body image perception. A one-way ANOVA and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were used to determine the difference and relationship between BMI, EAT-26 and CDRS scores. Findings show there were relationships between BMI categories, eating disorders and body image perceptions. BMI positively correlates with dieting, body weight, and eating behaviour but negatively correlates with perception of body image. Perception of body image showed an opposite relationship with eating disorders.
