For the first time Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) was described in the late ‘90 s as a pathological obsession with healthful eating often associated with obtrusive thoughts on being healthy, lack of flexibility in diet, life threatening medical conditions related to malnutrition, affective instability, social isolation and negative impact of food choices on quality of life. Despite the existing theoretical, case studies and empirical research, ON is still not well understood. The Orthorexia Nervosa Task Force (ON-TF) includes researchers investigating ON. At present, the working group consists of researchers from different countries (Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, United States, and Poland).

Abstract
For the first time Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) was described in the late ‘90 s as a pathological obsession with healthful eating often associated with obtrusive thoughts on being healthy, lack of flexibility in diet, life threatening medical conditions related to malnutrition, affective instability, social isolation and negative impact of food choices on quality of life. Despite the existing theoretical, case studies and empirical research, ON is still not well understood. The Orthorexia Nervosa Task Force (ON-TF) includes researchers investigating ON. At present, the working group consists of researchers from different countries (Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, United States, and Poland).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
