Features important in the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa were common in a sample of 100 ballet students. Defining a "case" of anorexia nervosa proved difficult. Follow-up one year later showed that seven girls who were designated "possible cases" had continued to dance and were considerably improved in their physical status without medical intervention.
100名芭蕾舞学生样本中普遍存在对神经性厌食症诊断至关重要的特征。事实证明,界定神经性厌食症的“病例”很困难。一年后的随访显示,7名被认定为“可能病例”的女孩继续跳舞,且在未接受医学干预的情况下身体状况有了显著改善。
