The current study examined the development of the incidence of severe anorexia nervosa with five sampling periods covering the years 1956-1995 in a geographically defined region of Switzerland.
Applying the same methodology as in the earlier sampling periods, the medical records of all hospitals of the canton of Zurich were screened manually for first-time hospitalizations of female anorexia nervosa patients during the years 1993-1995. Incidence rates were compared with the previous sampling period (1956-1985).
The incidence rate of severe anorexia nervosa in the total population and the rate in the population at risk (females 12-25 years old) did not differ significantly from the incidence rates of 1983-1985.
The incidence of severe anorexia nervosa in the canton of Zurich rose significantly during the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, the incidence appears to have reached a plateau.
本研究调查了1956年至1995年期间瑞士一个地理区域内五个抽样时间段中重度神经性厌食症发病率的发展情况。
采用与早期抽样时间段相同的方法,对苏黎世州所有医院1993年至1995年期间女性神经性厌食症患者首次住院的病历进行人工筛查。将发病率与前一个抽样时间段(1956年至1985年)进行比较。
总人口中重度神经性厌食症的发病率以及高危人群(12至25岁女性)的发病率与1983年至1985年的发病率相比无显著差异。
苏黎世州重度神经性厌食症的发病率在20世纪60年代和70年代显著上升。自那时起,发病率似乎已趋于平稳。
