Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are very common disorders in the society, nonetheless,
underestimated. It is a group of heterogeneous diseases/disorders associated with abnormal eating
habits/eating behaviours found in all ages, race and sexes, and are more common in females than males.
EDs could possibly be more common in diabetic patients. This study aims to examine the prevalence of
eating disorders (using SCOFF questionnaire) in diabetics type I/II and its association with
anthropometric indices. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted with the known cases of
diabetes I or II. Subjects suffering from any other disease are excluded from the study. A self designed
questionnaire indicating the anthropometric indices and a well-known SCOFF questionnaire for the
purpose of screening of EDs was used. SPSS-21 was used to analyze the data. Fisher’s exact test was
employed as an appropriate for qualitative data. Results: The overall prevalence of likelihood of EDs
was reported highest (99%), the frequency of EDs in diabetic type II groups was 66.6% and Type I was
32.4% respectively, The prevalence of EDs was significantly more in type II (p=0.03) as compared to
type I. Conclusion: High prevalence of eating disorders was observed in diabetics, more common in
Type II diabetic patients. Non-significant fluctuated anthropometric indicators were seen in diabetics
type I and II and patients with eating disorders.
