Abstract
Present study compared disturbed eating attitudes among male and female university
students. For which it was postulated that female university students would have more
disturbed eating attitudes as compare to male students. For that reason 200 males and
200 female university students from various universities of Karachi were incorporated in
the study. Their age ranged from 19 to 25. Participants after verbal and written covenant
from the heads of their institution were asked to fill the respondents’ profile form to
gather the participant’s demographic information, followed by Eating Attitude Test
(EAT-26) which was used to know ones disturbed eating ways. For statistical evaluation
t-test was applied, which specified that male university students experience more
disturbed eating attitudes compare to female learners. This clears that distressed eating
attempts are not limited to females, but is now affecting males as well. Thus to avert its
budding prevalence, teaching institutions should supervise its amassed risks in their
students and stimulate them to healthy lines of eating.
