A retrospective study was carried out of 116 consecutive patients with anorexia nervosa to ascertain the extent and nature of vegetarianism in this population. Sixty-three (54.3%) patients were found to be avoiding red meat. In only four (6.3%) of these did meat avoidance predate the onset of their anorexia nervosa. Of the remaining 59 patients (best termed pseudovegetarians), 25 (42.4%) patients continued to avoid red meat by the end of treatment. Pseudovegetarianism was associated with a longer duration of anorexia nervosa, a lower weight during the course of their illness, and living away from the parental home. The reintroduction of red meat into the diet was more likely if vegetarianism were of a short duration.
对116例连续性神经性厌食症患者进行了一项回顾性研究，以确定该人群中素食主义的程度和性质。发现63例（54.3%）患者避免食用红肉。其中只有4例（6.3%）在神经性厌食症发病前就开始避免食用肉类。在其余59例患者（最好称为假性素食者）中，25例（42.4%）患者在治疗结束时仍继续避免食用红肉。假性素食主义与神经性厌食症病程较长、患病期间体重较低以及不住在父母家有关。如果素食时间较短，饮食中重新引入红肉的可能性更大。
