CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It screens for obsessive concern with eating only “healthy” or “pure” foods and the distress linked to breaking dietary rules.

How should the results be used?

Results are intended for self-assessment and screening. They do not provide a formal diagnosis and should not replace a clinical evaluation.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 2 minutes. The questionnaire includes 10 questions.

How should items be answered?

Answer each item based on typical thoughts and behaviors, not a single unusual day. Use the first response that best fits, without overanalyzing.

What should be done if the score suggests a concern?

Consider consultation with a qualified health professional, especially if eating rules cause anxiety, social impairment, or nutritional restriction. Seek prompt help if there is rapid weight loss, medical complications, or severe distress.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Bratman’s Orthorexia Nervosa Questionnaire Test

Orthorexia Nervosa Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

orthorexia eating behavior

This brief self-report measure screens for obsessive concerns about “healthy” eating and related distress. The Orthorexia Nervosa Questionnaire is intended to support initial identification of clinically relevant patterns rather than to establish a formal diagnosis.

Developed by Bratman, S., it consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items focus on rigidity around food choices, preoccupation with purity/quality of foods, and anxiety or guilt when dietary rules are violated. In clinical and research contexts, the Orthorexia Nervosa Questionnaire may be used as a screening tool to guide follow-up assessment, clinical interview, and consideration of functional impairment.
