Sažetak
Eating disorders include disorders in behavior during eating and they are public health issue. They usually come in the form of binge eating or extreme reduction of eating. Through this paper, three main eating disorders were described: anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. These eating disorders affect mainly young adults, but not uncommon in middle age. Thereby, the general population relatively little is known about them, and often too late to recognize. It is considered that eating disorders is not caused by failure of will, they are real and curable biopsychosocial disorder in which, among other features, certain forms of behavior are going out of control. The goals of research were to finding the answer to question how is the general population informed about eating disorders, to compare results according to the gender and age of the examinees and to plan the procedures of the nurse in prevention of eating disorders. Research was based on online survey. The survey questions were analyzed by gender and age (four age groups) so the differences in opinion and knowledge could be seen between age and gender (specifically in critical group for the development of eating disorders). The cause of the eating disorder is analyzed through the opinions of the questioned people. Results were indicated very good knowledge and recognizing of the symptoms of the certain eating disorder. In relation to gender, female group has given better results in knowing about eating disorders than male group. Age group from 10 to 20 years in comparison to other age group has recognized the eating disorders in a very high percentage.
