The present study examined (a) the factor structure of eating attitudes and (b) the relationships among the obesity index, eating attitudes, physical and mental health, and self-esteem. The Eating Attitudes Test (developed by the authors), Physical and Mental Health Scale (Moroi, 1996), and the Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1979) were administered to female adolescents (N=526). Also, subjects estimated their height and weight. The principal component analysis (with promax rotations) of the Eating Attitudes Test yielded four components, labeled as follows; "desire for thinness," "food preoccupation," "health-orientation," and "loss of appetite." To examine the relationships pattern among the obesity index, eating attitudes, physical and mental health, and self-esteem, the structural equation model analyses (Amos5.0) were executed. A good solution was found. Self-esteem and physical and mental health were directly influenced by eating attitudes, but not related to obesity. Eating attitudes were significantly determined by obesity.
