Existing research on women athletes' risk for eating disorders supports both athletes at greater risk and athletes at lower risk than the general population. This meta-analysis pooled the descriptive statistics from research that utilized the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) on women athletes to synthesize the existing research. Twenty studies with available sample size, means and standard deviations were included. Weighted means for women athletes were computed and compared to control means and to eating disordered patients means by independent t-tests. Athletes were grouped by Competition Level (recreational, college, elite) and the sports' emphasis on leanness, termed Body Emphasis (yes, no, mixed), and subjected to ANOVAs. Athletes scored higher than controls on the EAT and on EDI subscales Maturity Fears and Interpersonal Distrust. Athletes scored lower than controls on the EDI subscales Body Dissatisfaction and Ineffectiveness. Athletes scored lower then eating disordered patients on the EAT and all EDI subscales. ANOVAs resulted in an interaction effect where athletes in lean emphasis sports scored higher than athletes in non-lean emphasis sports at the recreational competition level, but this was reversed at the elite competition level for EDI subscales Ineffectiveness, Interpersonal Distrust, Maturity Fears, and Interoceptive Awareness. Although women athletes score higher than controls on some measures of eating disorders they are not at greater risk because their scores remain within the normal range and are similar or lower than controls on drive for thinness, bulimia and body dissatisfaction, correlates central to eating disorders. Women athletes also do not approach the pathology seen in eating disordered patients. Some athlete groups may be more at risk than others, such as athletes participating in sports emphasizing leanness at low competition levels, but the influence from moderator variables is complex and many other variables, age, coaches influence, etc., may confound the relationship in unascertained ways.
