Orthorexia nervosa in dietitians and dietetics students—prevalence, risk factors, and interventions: a scoping review using a systematic approach - p382–396

Dietitians appear to be especially vulnerable to ON, and it is still debatable whether the disordered eating behaviors motivate individuals to enroll in nutrition programs, or whether these behaviors result from an exaggerated preoccupation with healthy eating triggered during their nutrition studies.
