Methods: The sample included 198 categorized athletes between 18 and 20 years of age. The Eating Attitude Test, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test were used to measure disordered eating behaviours, level of depression, and alcohol use, respectively.Results: Significant differences were found between female and male at-hletes, with female athletes reporting higher levels of disordered eating atti-tudes and depressive symptoms. 13.90% of athletes reported clinically signi-ficant eating disorder symptoms, 40% reported clinically significant depres-sive symptoms, and 10.50% reported risky alcohol use.Results also showed that athletes with higher eating disorder attitudes had higher depressive levels.Conclusion: These findings have important practical value and point to the importance of building a professional team trained to recognize mental health problems in athletes in order to provide appropriate helpNamen: Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti razširjenost motenega prehranjevalnega vedenja med slovenskimi kategoriziranimi športniki in športnicami v povezavi s simpto-mi depresivnosti in uživanjem alkohola. Metode: V vzorec je bilo vključenih 198 kategoriziranih športnikov, starih od 18 do 20 let.

Zaključek: Te ugotovitve imajo pomembno praktično vrednost in potrjujejo po-membnost oblikovanja strokovnega tima, usposobljenega za prepoznavanje duševnih težav in nudenja ustrezne pomoči športnikomTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZnanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper
