Two matched samples of Arab female undergraduate students attending London and Cairo Universities were recruited to determine the relative prevalence of abnormal eating attitudes and the effect of exposure to Western culture upon this prevalence. A positive response was reported on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40) in 22% of the students in the London group and 12% in the Cairo group, indicating that abnormal attitudes occur in this non-Western population. Six cases among the London sample fulfilled diagnostic criteria for bulimia nervosa, but no cases of either anorexia or bulimia were identified in the Cairo sample.
招募了两组匹配的样本，分别是就读于伦敦大学和开罗大学的阿拉伯女本科生，以确定异常饮食态度的相对患病率以及接触西方文化对该患病率的影响。伦敦组22%的学生在饮食态度测试（EAT - 40）中呈阳性反应，开罗组为12%，这表明这种非西方人群中存在异常态度。伦敦样本中有6例符合神经性贪食症的诊断标准，但开罗样本中未发现厌食症或贪食症病例。
