Bulimia is an eating disorder classified as a mental disorder according to DSM-IV.
The aim of the study was to evaluate vocal and laryngeal abnormalities in patients with bulimia compared to a control group.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Study control group. Twenty-two women were evaluated, with an age range of 18 to 34 years old. Eleven diagnosed with purging bulimia and 11 in the control group. Both groups underwent an otolaryngological, perception and acoustic evaluation. The statistic analysis was done through a chi-square test and a Kruskall-Wallis non-parametric test, considering 5% as significance level.
The bulimic group presented a higher prevalence of laryngeal abnormalities compared to the control group (p=0.000). The group with bulimia had higher GRBSI values (p=0.000) and A (p=0.022) of the GRBASI scale. The results of vocal acoustics analysis of the jitter, shimmer, PPQ and APQ were higher in the bulimic group (p=0.033). No statistical significance difference in the fundamental frequency and NHR were found between both groups.
the bulimic patients in this study presented more laryngeal, acoustics and perception evaluation disorders when compared to a control group.
贪食症是一种饮食失调症，根据 DSM-IV 被归类为精神障碍。
本研究旨在评估与对照组相比，贪食症患者的嗓音和喉部异常。
研究对照组。评估了 22 名年龄在 18 至 34 岁之间的女性。其中 11 人被诊断为暴食性贪食症，11 人在对照组。两组均接受了耳鼻喉科、感知和声学评估。统计分析通过卡方检验和 Kruskall-Wallis 非参数检验进行，置信水平为 5%。
贪食症组与对照组相比，喉部异常的发生率更高（p=0.000）。贪食症组的 GRBSI 值（p=0.000）和 GRBASI 量表的 A 值（p=0.022）更高。贪食症组的嗓音声学分析中抖动、颤音、PPQ 和 APQ 结果更高（p=0.033）。两组之间的基频和 NHR 没有统计学意义差异。
与对照组相比，本研究中的贪食症患者在喉部、声学和感知评估方面表现出更多的障碍。
