Eating disorders are common among adolescent girls and young women and are associated with potentially serious medical complications. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder are characterized by a serious disturbance in eating, such as restriction of intake or bingeing, as well as distress or excessive concern about body shape or body weight. The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa alone, at 0.56 percent per year, is more than 12 times as high as the mortality rate among young women in the general population. All patients with eating disorders should be evaluated and treated for medical complications of the disease at the same time that psychotherapy and nutritional counselling are undertaken.
饮食失调在青春期女孩和年轻女性中很常见，并与潜在的严重医学并发症相关。神经性厌食症、神经性贪食症、暴饮暴食症的特征是饮食严重紊乱，如摄入量受限或暴饮暴食，以及对体型或体重的困扰或过度关注。仅神经性厌食症的死亡率就高达每年0.56%，是普通人群中年轻女性死亡率的12倍多。所有饮食失调患者在接受心理治疗和营养咨询的同时，都应针对该疾病的医学并发症进行评估和治疗。
