Abstract

Eating disorders are prototypic biopsychosocial disorders. Their etiology, clinical expression, and treatment can be understood only by considering psychological, biological, cultural, and familial factors. Biological characteristics such as perception of satiety and hunger, energy metabolism, propensity to convert food into fat, and modulation of mood may produce a physiological predisposition. Parentchild interaction abnormalities and personality features can create a psychological vulnerability. Exposure to cultural beliefs that equate success and attractiveness with thinness and denial of nourishment may contribute to the biological and psychological predisposition. An individual with these vulnerabilities who begins a strict diet, a desire that also stems from familial and social influences, is susceptible to developing anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, an atypical eating disorder, or a subclinical form of an eating disorder. An individual with different biological, psychological, or social vulnerabilties may become obese.
