Dengan berkembangnya citra kurus-ideal dengan istilah “thinspiration” yang mendorong penurunan berat badan agar dapat sesuai dengan citra tersebut, meningkatkan pandangan negatif pada tubuh dan dapat menyebabkan body dissatisfaction. Apabila tidak diperhatikan dan ditanggulangi maka dapat menyebabkan terjadinya gangguan makan lainnya seperti bulimia dan anorexia nervosa.

Subjek penelitian ini adalah 272 perempuan dengan usia 15 sampai 35 tahun yang saat ini berdomisili di Provinsi Bali.
