Participants were recruited through online platforms using convenience sampling. Eating disorder susceptibility was assessed using the validated Eating Attitudes Test (EAT\u201026), with a score \u2265 20 indicating elevated susceptibility. Dietary behaviors during the previous 6 months were self\u2010reported and categorized into index\u2010based, macronutrient\u2010focused, pattern\/lifestyle, and special or plant\u2010based diets. Multivariable logistic regression models and general linear models were used to examine associations between dietary variables and eating disorder susceptibility and symptom severity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 188 participants included in the primary analysis, 90 (47.9%) participants were susceptible to eating disorders.
