: Disgust is a central emotion in eating disorders, influencing both their development and maintenance. High sensitivity to disgust has been associated with restrictive and purgative behaviors, as well as with greater severity of eating disorder symptoms. Despite its importance, the different aspects of disgust are rarely examined in depth, limiting the understanding of its role in these disorders. Since the emotion of disgust is more closely linked to the body and food than other emotions, the aim of this paper is to understand its possible role in eating disorders and obesity. : In a case-control study, 313 women (155 with eating disorders and obesity in the clinical group and 158 in the control group) were assessed using various questionnaires, including measures of disgust, dissociation, and symptom severity. : The results showed that the clinical group reported greater symptom severity, more dissociative symptoms, and higher sensitivity to disgust than the control group. It is noteworthy that there were significant differences between subtypes of the clinical group, particularly in disgust related to hygiene, sexual content and deterioration and disease. These findings highlight the importance of considering disgust in the evaluation and treatment of eating disorders, emphasizing the need for further research on this emotion to develop more effective therapeutic interventions that address this complex emotion in the context of eating disorders and obesity.
厌恶是饮食失调中的一种核心情绪，会影响其发展和持续存在。对厌恶高度敏感与限制饮食和清除行为有关，也与饮食失调症状的更严重程度相关。尽管其很重要，但厌恶的不同方面很少被深入研究，这限制了对其在这些疾病中作用的理解。由于厌恶情绪比其他情绪与身体和食物的联系更为紧密，本文旨在了解其在饮食失调和肥胖症中可能扮演的角色。
在一项病例对照研究中，对313名女性（临床组中155名患有饮食失调和肥胖症，对照组中158名）使用了各种问卷进行评估，包括厌恶、解离和症状严重程度的测量。
结果显示，临床组报告的症状严重程度更高、解离症状更多，且比对照组对厌恶更敏感。值得注意的是，临床组的各亚型之间存在显著差异，尤其是在与卫生、性内容以及变质和疾病相关的厌恶方面。这些发现凸显了在饮食失调的评估和治疗中考虑厌恶情绪的重要性，强调需要对这种情绪进行进一步研究，以开发更有效的治疗干预措施，在饮食失调和肥胖症的背景下应对这种复杂情绪。
