Orthorexia nervosa is a new type of disordered eating, characterized by an unhealthy fixation on healthy food. Those who suffer from it are showing compulsive behaviors and increasing dietary restrictions, that can lead to anxiety and physical health problems. Measuring tools for estimating the seve rity of its symptoms are available in Hungary only to a limited extent. The aim of this study was to adapt the Eating Habits Questionnaire's revised version (EHQ-R) to Hungarian, and to perform a psychometric analysis, moreover, to explore the demographic features of orthorexic tendencies.
