A nurse is assisting with providing an educational program about eating disorders to the local community. The nurse should include that which of the following groups has an increased risk for developing an eating disorder?

A. While musicians may experience stress or performance anxiety, research does not show them as a high-risk group for eating disorders. There is no consistent association between musical careers and the development of anorexia, bulimia, or binge-eating disorder. B. Chefs are exposed to food frequently, but studies do not consistently identify them as having a higher prevalence of eating disorders compared to the general population. The risk is not considered significantly elevated due to occupational factors alone. C. Athletes, especially those in sports emphasizing leanness or weight categories (e.g., gymnastics, wrestling, ballet, figure skating, long-distance running), have a significantly higher risk for developing eating disorders. Pressure to maintain a certain body weight or shape, combined with intense training, can lead to restrictive eating, purging behaviors, or disordered eating patterns. The phenomenon of “female athlete triad”—energy deficiency, menstrual disturbances, and decreased bone density—is directly associated with these risks. D. There is no evidence that being a movie director is associated with an increased risk of eating disorders. While high-stress professions can impact mental health, this occupation is not recognized as a specific risk group for eating disorders.
