Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perfectionistic traits have been strongly linked to the development of eating disorders, particularly in individuals who also have low self-esteem or anxiety. While lower than average grades and age 18 or older may be associated with certain risk factors, they are not specifically linked to developing an eating disorder. Narcissistic personality may be associated with certain types of disordered eating behaviors, but is not a specific risk factor for developing an eating disorder.
