Thailand – clinical case report from rural, low-SES region
While fewer studies of EDs in Thailand are available as compared to many other Asian countries, a case of restrictive AN reported in a 13-year-old Thai female is intriguing on account of the fact that the girl was from Thailand’s poorest province (Khon Kaen) [122]. Differences in beauty ideals and body shape/weight concern among Thai women typically reflect the influence of rural vs. urban settings, such that women from more developed, urban regions, place greater emphasis on body weight and shape in assessing physical appearance identity [123]. Further evidence of vulnerability to EDs comes to light in a study of 447 female undergraduates in which 6.34 % of students reportedly obtained high EAT-26 scores (>20). Consistent with findings from other regions of Asia, 19.25 % of respondents exhibited body image dissatisfaction (BSQ scores > 110) despite a majority (56.17 %) of the sample having ‘normal’ BMIs [124].
