The current study sought to compare eating disorder symptomatology among ballet dancers and individuals with restricting anorexia nervosa (RAN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and no eating pathology.
Twenty-nine female ballet dancers completed assessments and were compared with an archival dataset of 26 women with RAN, 47 women with BN, and 44 women with no eating pathology. Eating disorder diagnoses and behaviors were assessed with a semi-structured clinical interview, the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), and a weight history interview.
Eighty-three percent of dancers met lifetime criteria for AN (6.9%), BN (10.3%), AN+BN (10.3%), or EDNOS (55.0%). Moreover, dancers looked more similar to eating-disordered individuals than to control individuals on measures of eating pathology.
Despite previous emphasis on the pathology AN, the current findings suggest that dancers frequently engage in binge eating and purging behaviors. Moreover, it appears that their pathology is as severe as that of non-dancing women with eating disorders.
本研究旨在比较芭蕾舞演员与患有神经性厌食症（RAN）、神经性贪食症（BN）以及无饮食问题的个体之间的饮食失调症状。
29名女性芭蕾舞演员完成了评估，并与一个存档数据集进行比较，该数据集包含26名患有RAN的女性、47名患有BN的女性以及44名无饮食问题的女性。通过半结构化临床访谈、饮食失调量表（EDI）和体重史访谈对饮食失调诊断和行为进行评估。
83%的舞者符合AN（6.9%）、BN（10.3%）、AN+BN（10.3%）或未特定的饮食失调（EDNOS，55.0%）的终身标准。此外，在饮食病理学测量方面，舞者与饮食失调个体的相似程度高于与对照个体的相似程度。
尽管此前一直强调AN这种病理情况，但当前研究结果表明，舞者经常出现暴饮暴食和清除行为。此外，她们的病理情况似乎与患有饮食失调症的非舞蹈女性一样严重。
