| Annotation | Eating pathology is generally considered to affect females during adolescence and early adulthood. However, in recent years, there has been an increased recognition that eating disorders occur in middle-aged and older women, and that the presentation is similar to that of eating disorders in younger women. In the research presented here, results of an Internet survey of 245 older American women aged 60-90 indicate that the factors significantly associated with eating pathology _ perfectionism, depression, and sociocultural pressures to be thin _ closely parallel those reported for both younger and middle-aged women.
