Reports have appeared in the literature suggesting an association between physical illness and the later development of anorexia nervosa. The histories of 326 patients with anorexia nervosa were examined for physical illness. A higher rate of severe physical illness was found in this group when compared with controls suggesting that it should be regarded as a risk factor for anorexia nervosa. No statistically significant differences were found when illness was examined by time in relation to onset of anorexia, system involved, or when subjects were stratified by age. Possible explanations for the observed association are discussed.
文献中已有报告表明身体疾病与神经性厌食症的后期发展之间存在关联。对326例神经性厌食症患者的病史进行了身体疾病检查。与对照组相比，该组中严重身体疾病的发生率更高，这表明应将其视为神经性厌食症的一个风险因素。当按与神经性厌食症发病时间相关的时间、所涉及的系统检查疾病时，或按年龄对受试者进行分层时，未发现统计学上的显著差异。文中讨论了所观察到的这种关联的可能解释。
