Risk factors for the development of eating disorders include female gender, age, and societal influences including media stereotypes. The client is a preadolescent female who wants to look like the girls on the cover of fashion magazines. The client may be demonstrating unrealistic behavior; however, the risk factors are the client's age, gender, and desire to look like those on fashion magazines. No information is given about the family's influences on the client's body weight. The client may or may not be expressing a desire for a long-term profession.
