Data on the nature and extent of major eating disorders, anorexia nervosa and bulimia is lacking in non-white, native populations of the developing world, leaving a gap in understanding the determinants of these disorders. In a study on 210 medical students examined by a two-stage survey method, 31 subjects were found to have distress relating to their eating habits and body size not amounting to criterion-based diagnosis of eating disorders. The characteristics of this eating distress syndrome are described in relation to the major eating disorders.
发展中国家非白种本土人群中,有关主要饮食失调症(神经性厌食症和贪食症)的性质和严重程度的数据缺乏,这导致对这些疾病决定因素的认识存在空白。在一项对 210 名医学生进行的两阶段调查方法研究中,发现 31 名受试者因饮食习惯和体型而感到困扰,但未达到饮食失调症的诊断标准。本文就该饮食困扰综合征的特征与主要饮食失调症进行了描述。
