This study examined the relationship between characteristics of alexithymia and eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and obesity) in a nonclinical sample of 308 college women. Scores on the Toronto Alexithymia Scale were mostly unrelated to a weight index, which assessed subjects' deviation from their expected weight, but were correlated with subjects' scores on the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI). EDI scores were related to the affective deficits of alexithymia (difficulty identifying and communicating feelings), but not to the cognitive disturbance associated with alexithymia.
本研究在308名大学女生的非临床样本中，考察了述情障碍特征与饮食失调（神经性厌食症、神经性贪食症和肥胖症）之间的关系。多伦多述情障碍量表得分大多与体重指数无关，体重指数用于评估受试者相对于预期体重的偏差，但与受试者在饮食失调量表（EDI）上的得分相关。EDI得分与述情障碍的情感缺陷（难以识别和表达情感）有关，但与述情障碍相关的认知障碍无关。
