BACKGROUND: The construct of orthorexia in @entity1277 ( @entity1277 ) has received very little attention despite clinical observations of a possible overlap between the two. The aim of this study was: 1) to assess orthorexic behaviours, @entity1277 pathology and attitudinal body image in @entity2613 @entity1 ; 2) to identify possible @entity1278 among @entity2613 @entity1 . METHODS: Fifty-two @entity1 diagnosed with @entity1277 were recruited. @entity1 ' assessment included the following: the ORTO-15 test (Polish version) for orthorexic behaviours; the Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26) to identify @entity2613 symptoms; the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (Polish version) to assess body image. RESULTS: A latent class analysis was performed and differences between identified classes were assessed. The main differences concerned weight, @entity2613 pathology and orthorexic behaviours within the same group of @entity2613 @entity1 . In order to examine @entity1278 , we investigated a structural equation model, which excellently fitted to the data (   (2) (17)   =   23.05; p   =   .148; CFI   =   .962; RMSEA   =   .08; p   =   .25; SRMR   =   .05). In @entity2613 @entity1 , orthorexic behaviour was negatively predicted by eating pathology, weight concern, health orientation and appearance orientation. CONCLUSION: The assessment of the orthorexia construct in @entity1277 may add to the paucity of studies about this issue and may help to clarify the relationship between the two. Differences and similarities seem to exist between these disorders, and may benefit from specific treatment approaches. Moreover, these preliminary findings open tracks for future research in the field of the psychology of eating.
