Abstract
Objective: Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is a proposed mental illness characterised by a fxation on eating “healthy” foods, resulting in psychological, physical, and/or social impairment. Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) is a condition characterized by an obsessive focus on healthy eating, inflxible dietary rules, and recurrent and persistent preoccupations related to food that signifiantly interferes with the functioning of the person in society. Persons presenting orthorexic behaviors are overly focused not only on the quality of food but also on the methods and materials used in its preparation. They read product labels carefully and commonly do healthy grocery shopping. To alleviate the numerous concerns related to food preparation and purchasing and to maximize the health benefis of eating, individuals with ON engage in specifi behavioral patterns and, non-adherence to self-imposed nutritional rules might trigger feelings of anxiety, obsessive and further dietary restrictions. Although Orthorexia nervosa has been increasingly recognized in diverse populations including young persons and working adults, and multiple systematic reviews on the topic exist (Atchison and Zickgraf, 2022; Gkiouleka et al, 2022). Since the researchers always pay attention to healthy diet and the factors related to the physical and psychological health, therefore,This research aimed to predict the Orthorexia Nervos based on health anxiety, obsessive and Pathological Worry. Method: This study is applied in terms of its objectives and descriptive-correlational type. The statistical population of this study included all the students of Payam Noor University were from Miandoab Center in 2024. Accordingly, 282 participants (180 women, 102 men) selected using the available sampling method. Data collection tools include the Orthorexia Nervos scale (Donini et al., 2005), Health anxiety scale (Salkovskis et al., 2002), Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised scale (Foa et al., 2002), and Penn State Worry scale (Meyer et al., 1990). The research data collected using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and step-by-step regression using SPSS-24 software. Results: Of the participants, 180 individuals (64%) were Woman, 102 individuals (36%) were Man. Additionally, total participants were between 20 and 28 years old. Finally, concerning According to Table 4, The results Regression showed that health anxiety, obsessive and Pathological Worry could predict 46.9% of the variance in Orthorexia Nervos. health anxiety predicted 30/1% of the variance of Orthorexia Nervos (P<0.01, β=-0.301), Negative consequences of the disease predicted 29/5% of the variance of Orthorexia Nervos (P<0.01, β=-0.295), The possibility of contracting the disease predicted 27/8% of the variance of Orthorexia Nervos (P<0.01, β=-0.278), Obsessive predicted 51/6% of the variance of Orthorexia Nervos (P<0.01, β=-0/516), and Pathological Worry predicted 33/4% of the variance of Orthorexia Nervos (P<0.01, β=-0.334). Conclusion: Based on this study, it can to conclude that health anxiety, obsessive and Pathological Worry are among the factors that play an effective role in increase the Orthorexia Nervos, which requires high attention and sensitivity, On the other hand, knowing the main factors affecting the Orthorexia Nervos, It can be used to reduce Orthorexia Nervos and increase people's health and adaptiveness, started planning and intervention measures. Therefore,The findings of this study can strengthen theoretical models related to health and especially health psychology.
