To explore the reasons why eating disorder patients consume non-alcoholic fluids and to examine variables associated with poor and excessive drinking.
A sample of 115 patients admitted for inpatient treatment to a specialist eating disorder facility completed a semi-standardised retrospective fluid intake history of type and amount of fluid and of reasons for drinking. ANOVA, chi-square and factor analysis were performed.
The main reasons for consuming fluids were for fullness and appetite suppression; for feelings of control including feeling empty; to assist with purging; and for physiological reasons such as drinking when thirsty, after exercising and to increase energy levels via caffeine ingestion.
An eating disorder needs to be considered a disorder of fluid intake, as much as a disorder of food intake. Factors affecting the fluid intake of eating disorder patients are related to the presence of eating disorder behaviours.
探讨饮食失调患者饮用非酒精性液体的原因，并研究与饮水过少和过多相关的变量。
115名入住专科饮食失调治疗机构接受住院治疗的患者完成了一份半标准化的回顾性液体摄入史，记录了液体的类型和数量以及饮水原因。进行了方差分析、卡方分析和因子分析。
饮用液体的主要原因包括有饱腹感和抑制食欲；出于控制感，包括感觉空虚时；为了辅助催吐；以及生理原因，如口渴时、运动后饮水，以及通过摄入咖啡因来提高能量水平。
饮食失调不仅应被视为食物摄入紊乱，也应被视为液体摄入紊乱。影响饮食失调患者液体摄入的因素与饮食失调行为的存在有关。
