How might ethnicity influence one's risk for developing an eating disorder?
What will be an ideal response?
White and Latina girls are at higher risk for low body image and eating disorders than are African American girls. Cultural and media portrayals of African American women that value voluptuous figures may protect young Black girls from developing eating disorders. However, some researchers suggest that ethnic differences in eating disorders are not as large as they appear. Instead, eating disorders may exist in Black girls but remain undetected and undiagnosed because of barriers to diagnosis and treatment.
