The self-reported frequencies (prevalence and incidence) of eating patterns and disorders in a matched longitudinal sample of college women (N = 141) interviewed during their sophomore year (Time 1) and senior year (Time 2) were compared. The rate of eating disorders was assessed using a noncontinuum measure, the Eating Attitudes Test (Garner, Olmsted, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982), as well as continuum measures based on criteria in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 1980). The noncontinuum measure revealed a prevalence rate of eating disorders per 2-year period comparable to that found in other studies of college student populations. The incidence rate per 2-year period was not of epidemic proportions. A sizable percentage of women appeared to get better from Time 1 to Time 2; a small percentage of women remained abnormal eaters. The continuum measurement uncovered a large group of women whose eating patterns were chronic but not severe enough to classify them as "abnormal" eaters. The implications of using different measures for defining and treating college women's eating disorders are discussed.
比较了在大学二年级（时间1）和四年级（时间2）接受访谈的141名匹配的纵向样本大学女生中自我报告的饮食模式和饮食失调频率（患病率和发病率）。使用非连续测量方法——饮食态度测试（加纳、奥尔姆斯特德、博尔和加芬克尔，1982年）以及基于《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（美国精神病学协会，1980年）标准的连续测量方法来评估饮食失调率。非连续测量方法显示，每两年的饮食失调患病率与其他大学生群体研究中的患病率相当。每两年的发病率并非呈流行比例。相当大比例的女性从时间1到时间2似乎有所好转；一小部分女性仍然是异常饮食者。连续测量方法发现了一大群女性，她们的饮食模式是慢性的，但严重程度不足以将她们归类为“异常”饮食者。讨论了使用不同测量方法来定义和治疗大学女生饮食失调的影响。
