Are Dancers With A History of Eating Disorders More Susceptible to Nicotine Addiction?
The lab surveyed 42 UF dancers to see if a history of eating disorders is linked to nicotine addiction and found a weak correlation of 0.194; the research also produced a dance film about the risks. Future work will compare ballet schools in the US and Europe.
