Introduction: The aim of
this study was to evaluate the relationship between eating attitude, body
composition and disease severity in patients with anxiety disorders.


Methods: This is
a cross-sectional case-control study conducted between January-March 2018 in
Clinic of Psychiatry of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Medical Faculty of
Hospital. Beck depression scale (BDI), beck anxiety scale (BAI) and eating
attitude test (EAT) were applied to patients diagnosed as anxiety disorder
according to DSM-5 criteria and to healthy controls. Body compositions of all participants
were measured by Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA). 


Results: Twenty-five
patients with anxiety disorders and 25 healthy controls were included in the
study. The BDI and BAI scores of the participants measured the severity of
anxiety and depressive symptoms were statistically higher than the controls. (p
<0.001). There were statistically significant positive correlations between
BDI and BAI, EAT and BMI (p = 0.029, r = 0.436; p = 0.001, r =.630,
respectively). There was a statistically significant positive correlation
between EAT and BMI (p = 0.027, r = 0.441). There were no statistically
significant differences between two groups in terms of body fat ratios.









Conclusions: Our study shows that patients with anxiety disorders should be evaluated
for obesity and related factors and necessary recommendations should be made.
