Traits of orthorexia nervosa and muscle dysmorphia in Italian university students: a multicentre study.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of ON and MD traits was found similar to that reported in the literature on undergraduates. Some associations observed improvement in the knowledge about these conditions, especially the association of participants with ON and MD traits with dieting and EDs traits and the correlation of the three test scores suggests a connection among these potential conditions.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, descriptive cross-sectional survey.
