Eating Disorders in Female High School Athletes

Different factors can cause the development of an eating disorder. Scientists are still learning about the cause because eating disorders are complex disorders. There are three main groups that can contribute to the development of eating disorders. These groups include different sports that the female athlete is playing, the environment that they are in, and social factors in their day to day life. Female high school athletes are subjected to all of these groups every day, which can contribute to them developing an eating disorder.
