Synopsis

This study will investigate the dietary intakes of women with disordered eating from the 1973-78 cohort of the ALSWH. A cross-sectional analysis of food frequency data from the 1973-78 cohort at survey 3 in 2003 will be compared to dietary intakes for those with and without disordered eating with data from survey 5 in 2009. Macro and micronutrient intakes will be compared to the Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand. This study will also determine if there are differences in dietary intakes in urban compared to non-urban women with disordered eating.
