To our knowledge, this is the first study to test a gender-stratified, weight suppression-mediated model in a partnered aesthetic-athletic discipline (DanceSport). This study aimed to examine the prevalence of ED risk and body shape concerns among DanceSport undergraduates.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This cross-sectional study surveyed 250 DanceSport undergraduates (female: n\u2009=\u2009128; male: n\u2009=\u2009122) using the validated Eating Attitudes Test and Body Shape Questionnaire to assess ED risk and body shape concerns.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    DanceSport undergraduates exhibited significant gender differences in ED risk and body shape concerns (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Females demonstrated higher levels of weight suppression (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.042), higher frequency of laxative, diet pill, and diuretic use (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and a higher prevalence of weight loss of 20\u2009pounds or more within the past 6\u2009months (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.039). ED risk and body shape concerns were strongly correlated (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.01). BMI (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.01) and weight suppression (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.05) were significantly correlated with ED risk. Years of dance experience showed a significant correlation with weight suppression (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.01). Gender and weight suppression emerged as significant predictors of both ED risk and body shape concerns (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.01), while BMI was a significant predictor of body shape concerns (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.001).\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Female DanceSport undergraduates exhibit disproportionately high ED risk than their male peers, with weight suppression as a key predictor. Long-term DanceSport participation may reinforce restrictive weight-control behaviors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1089313x261452406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]],"date-time":"2026-05-22T10:02:21Z","timestamp":1779444141000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Weight Suppression and Gender as Predictors of Eating Disorder Risk and Body Shape Concerns in DanceSport Undergraduates"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2053-5454","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanbing","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Art, Beijing Sport University, China"},{"name":"Department of Kinesiology and Health Education, The University of Texas at Austin, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xian","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport Science School, Beijing Sport University, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinxin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport Science School, Beijing Sport University, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1123\/jcsp.2018-0013"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/erv.2360"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","first-page":"46","article-title":"Challenges and opportunities in optimizing physical training: impact on competitive performances in dance sport","volume":"1","author":"Radulescu Martinescu M","year":"2024","unstructured":"Radulescu Martinescu M.
