Eating disorders can be influenced by various factors, including genetic predisposition, psychological issues, and sociocultural pressures. However, they are not caused by a single factor alone, as they typically arise from a complex interplay of these influences. Factors like poor nutrition or lack of access to food may contribute to unhealthy eating behaviors but are not direct causes of eating disorders.
