The relationship between anorexia nervosa (AN) and sociocultural factors is examined. Anorexia nervosa was first described in the West and was reported as particularly rare or absent in Eastern cultures. However, the frequency of its presentation has increased worldwide over the past two decades, probably as a consequence of changes in cultural norms and concepts of feminine beauty and an increasing inflow of Western values into other countries. Sociocultural factors are important in the development of AN in psychologically vulnerable young females, although other factors may also be implicated.
本文探讨了神经性厌食症（AN）与社会文化因素之间的关系。神经性厌食症最早在西方被描述，在东方文化中被报道为特别罕见或不存在。然而，在过去二十年中，其发病率在全球范围内有所上升，这可能是文化规范、女性美的观念变化以及西方价值观向其他国家不断流入的结果。社会文化因素在心理脆弱的年轻女性患AN的过程中很重要，尽管可能也涉及其他因素。
