Abstract

Nineteen (35%) of 55 women with bulimia failed to exhibit cortisol suppression after dexamethasone administration. Although there was no statistically significant difference between suppressors and nonsuppressors on any clinical variable, there was a higher frequency of major depression among nonsuppressors.

摘要

55名贪食症女性中有19名（35%）在服用地塞米松后未表现出皮质醇抑制。尽管在任何临床变量上，抑制者和非抑制者之间没有统计学上的显著差异，但非抑制者中重度抑郁症的发生率更高。
