BACKGROUND
The prevalence of eating disorders in the non-Western world appears to be increasing and much research into the cross-cultural aspects of eating disorders is needed. This bibliometric study analyses the profile of cross-cultural studies into eating disorders published from 1970 through to 2011.
RESULTS
1,417 articles were indexed by Medline and PsychInfo from 1970 to 2011. There has been an exponential increase in publications in this field. Four articles were published in 1970-74 and this increased to 427 in 2004-9. Comparative and empirical studies were the most common types of publications. Of all the ethnic groups studied, Africans and African Americans were subject of the most publications. Pacific Islanders and South Europeans had the fewest publications.
CONCLUSION
It is heartening that there has been a large increase in published studies about eating disorders across cultures. This suggests greater awareness and interest in the field. However, the results from one particular ethnic group cannot always be applied directly to another. Some ethnic and cultural groups have been poorly studied and warrant more research attention. As more patients from such backgrounds present for treatment, more research is needed to provide culturally appropriate and acceptable care.
背景
非西方世界的饮食失调症发病率似乎在上升，需要对饮食失调症的跨文化方面进行大量研究。本文献计量研究分析了 1970 年至 2011 年发表的跨文化饮食失调症研究的概况。
结果
1970 年至 2011 年，Medline 和 PsychInfo 共收录了 1417 篇文章。该领域的出版物呈指数增长。1970-74 年发表了 4 篇文章，2004-9 年增加到 427 篇。比较和实证研究是最常见的出版物类型。在所研究的所有族裔群体中，非洲人和非裔美国人是研究最多的群体。太平洋岛民和南欧人发表的文章最少。
结论
令人欣慰的是，跨文化饮食失调症的研究论文数量大幅增加，这表明人们对该领域的认识和兴趣有所提高。然而，来自一个特定族裔群体的结果并不总是可以直接应用于另一个群体。一些族裔和文化群体研究不足，需要更多的研究关注。随着来自这些背景的患者越来越多地接受治疗，需要进行更多的研究，以提供文化上适当和可接受的护理。
