Women with eating disorders report using large quantities of artificially sweetened products, but this has not been quantified.
The authors assessed the use of selected artificially sweetened low-calorie products among women with eating disorders compared with controls.
Thirty women with anorexia nervosa (18 with the restricting subtype [AN-R] and 12 with the binge/purge subtype [AN-B/P]), 48 women with bulimia nervosa (BN), and 32 healthy control women completed a survey of frequency and amount of consumption of chewing gum, artificially sweetened low-calorie beverages, and packets of artificial sweetener in the previous month.
A greater proportion of women with AN-B/P and BN reported use of each product, compared with women with AN-R and control participants. Among product users, patients with eating disorders reported using greater amounts than controls. Among patients who reported binge eating and/or purging, the quantity of each product used was inversely correlated with body mass index (BMI).
These data suggest an increased drive for sweet orosensory stimulation in women with AN and BN.
患有饮食失调症的女性报告称大量食用人工甜味产品，但这一点尚未得到量化。
作者评估了饮食失调症女性与对照组相比对选定的人工甜味低热量产品的使用情况。
30名神经性厌食症女性（18名限制型亚型[AN-R]和12名暴食/清除型亚型[AN-B/P]）、48名神经性贪食症女性（BN）和32名健康对照女性完成了一项关于前一个月咀嚼口香糖、人工甜味低热量饮料和人工甜味剂包的消费频率和数量的调查。
与AN-R女性和对照参与者相比，AN-B/P和BN女性中报告使用每种产品的比例更高。在产品使用者中，饮食失调症患者报告的使用量比对照组多。在报告有暴饮暴食和/或清除行为的患者中，每种产品的使用量与体重指数（BMI）呈负相关。
这些数据表明，AN和BN女性对甜味口腔感觉刺激的驱动力增加。
