This study examined by questionnaire the prevalence of binge-eating and bulimia among 220 women at a school of nursing and 236 women at a junior college, all from 18 to 21 years old, in two different areas of Japan. Binge-eating more than once a week was found in 14 (6.5%) of the nursing school students and 21 (9.1%) of the college women. Self-induced vomiting and use of purgatives were found in 19 (8.7%) and 12 (5.5%) of the nursing school students, and 19 (8.1%) and 9 (3.8%) of the college women, respectively. The difference between these two groups was not significant. The prevalence of binge-eating more than once a week, together with self-induced vomiting or purgative use, was 3.6% in the nursing school students, 2.1% in the college women, and 2.9% in the total sample. These women appeared to meet both DSM-III criteria for bulimia and Russell's criteria for bulimia nervosa.
本研究通过问卷调查，对日本两个不同地区一所护理学校的220名18至21岁女性和一所专科学校的236名同龄女性中暴饮暴食和贪食症的患病率进行了调查。结果发现，护理学校学生中有14人（6.5%）每周暴饮暴食超过一次，专科学校女生中有21人（9.1%）每周暴饮暴食超过一次。护理学校学生中有19人（8.7%）催吐，12人（5.5%）使用泻药；专科学校女生中分别有19人（8.1%）催吐，9人（3.8%）使用泻药。两组之间的差异不显著。每周暴饮暴食超过一次，同时伴有催吐或使用泻药的情况，在护理学校学生中患病率为3.6%，专科学校女生中为2.1%，总样本中为2.9%。这些女性似乎符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版中贪食症的标准以及罗素神经性贪食症的标准。
