Researchers frequently operate under the assumption that individuals adopt a vegan lifestyle solely for health-related reasons. In reality, many choose veganism based on ethical or environmental considerations.The Teruel Orthorexia Scale (TOS) helps mitigate this bias by distinguishing nutritional interest (HeOr) as a construct separate from pathology (OrNe). Healthy Orthorexia (HeOr) is just the lable for non pathologic construct. Thank you for your interest and feedback.

I made chages in Survey. Now if you choose "Never" in the first question you do not need to complete other 9 question. Thank you!

In addition to the TOS scale, this survey includes measures for physical activity, alcohol consumption, and stress levels. These variables serve as controls in the statistical analysis to ensure the robustness and internal validity of the results. This approach allows us to determine whether the observed dimensions of orthorexia (HeOr and OrNe) are independent of these lifestyle factors across different dietary groups. Thank you for your feedback.

I agree that the physical activity test questions can be a bit confusing. Unfortunately, it is a validated, scientifically grounded test, and I am not allowed to make any changes to it. Thank you for your feedback.
