Based on study, it is suggested that the occurrence of eating disorders and the number ofyoung females who employ weight loss endeavors are increasing at an alarming rate.

An empirical base to support the use of proposed factors; more sustained, stepwiseresearch analyzing the eating disorder in females and rigorous programs that have sufficiently large sample sizesand lengthy follow-up periods to detect effects, will be more informative.
