While familial aggregation of bulimia nervosa (BN) is known to occur, the extent to which aggregation of a broader spectrum of eating disorders (ED) occurs in the families of individuals with BN is less certain.
Direct interviews and blind best-estimate diagnostic procedures were used to assess lifetime histories of EDs among first-degree relatives (n = 177) of probands with BN (n = 47) and first-degree relatives (n = 190) of non-ED control probands (n = 44).
Forty-three percent of sisters and 26% of mothers of BN probands had a lifetime ED diagnosis, with eating disorder not otherwise specified (ED-NOS) diagnoses being most common. These rates were significantly higher than among sisters (5%) and mothers (5%) of controls. Few male relatives of either cohort had an ED.
Diagnostic assessment using contemporary family-epidemiology methodology revealed very strong familial aggregation of a broad spectrum of EDs among female relatives of women with BN.
虽然已知神经性贪食症(BN)存在家族聚集性,但在BN患者家庭中更广泛的饮食失调(ED)聚集程度尚不确定。
采用直接访谈和盲法最佳估计诊断程序,评估BN先证者(n = 47)的一级亲属(n = 177)和非ED对照先证者(n = 44)的一级亲属(n = 190)的ED终生病史。
BN先证者的姐妹中有43%、母亲中有26%被诊断为终生患有ED,其中未另行分类的饮食失调(ED-NOS)诊断最为常见。这些比率显著高于对照组姐妹(5%)和母亲(5%)。两组的男性亲属中很少有人患有ED。
使用当代家庭流行病学方法进行的诊断评估显示,BN女性患者的女性亲属中广泛的ED存在非常强的家族聚集性。
