There is an increased interest in studying eating disorders and body image in ethnic minority populations. As research on non-White cultural groups increases, we are beginning to identify that eating disorders and body image concerns do exist cross-culturally, but may vary in presentation in each cultural group. However, information on the Asian population, specifically the South Asian population, is limited and inconclusive in this area. Questions about sociocultural influences in this population remain. Numerous methodological problems in the literature, such as wording and language of assessment tools and how South Asians as an ethnic or racial group is defined in the research may also limit our understanding. While the field has used current diagnostic criteria for eating disorders, the few qualitative studies with South Asian women have shown that when these women are asked how they feel about their body, many other variables that are not related and included in the diagnostic criteria are bought up as important to this group. Four sociocultural risk factors that may be relevant to South Asians based on the literature include: (a) body image, (b) acculturation, (c) cultural conflict, and (d) racial teasing.

While the field has used current diagnostic criteria for eating disorders, the few qualitative studies with South Asian women have shown that when these women are asked how they feel about their body, many other variables that are not related and included in the diagnostic criteria are bought up as important to this group. Four sociocultural risk factors that may be relevant to South Asians based on the literature include: (a) body image, (b) acculturation, (c) cultural conflict, and (d) racial teasing.
520 $a The current project was an exploratory study that utilized focus group interviews to better understand body image and eating concerns among 16 South Asian American women within a tri-state area (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania) in the United States. A self-report questionnaire provided participants a closed-ended and anonymous assessment of their experiences related to body image and eating concerns. A consensual qualitative research method was utilized to determine common themes identified in the focus groups. Five relevant domains were identified: (a) body image, (b) role of food, (c) eating habits, (d) acculturation, and (e) racial teasing. Results are consistent with previous research that shows there are culturally relevant variables related to body image and eating concerns for South Asian women that are not included in current diagnostic criteria. Clinicians and researchers need to be aware of these variables, as they may cause distress for women in this population and need to be reflected in devising appropriate interventions.
