    Orthorexia nervosa refers to an unhealthy preoccupation with maintaining a perfect diet, which is marked by highly restrictive eating habits, rigid food rituals, and the avoidance of foods perceived as unhealthy or impure. In recent years, the Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory (ONI) has gained recognition as a promising tool for assessing orthorexia tendencies and behaviors, addressing the limitations of existing ON-specific measures. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the ONI.
