Prevalence and risk factors of disordered eating behavior in youth with hypertension disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescents with certain health conditions requiring lifestyle management, such as diabetes mellitus, have higher disordered eating behavior (DEB) risk than the general adolescent population, but DEB is underdiagnosed and can lead to adverse health consequences. In youth with other conditions requiring lifestyle counseling such as hypertension (HTN), DEB prevalence and associated risk factors are unknown.

Methods

Prospective cross-sectional study of youth aged 11-18 years with HTN disorders. We excluded patients with
