Food restriction is correlated with binge eating, but evidence that restriction leads to binge eating is scanty. In this study we investigated postwar binge eating in 67 World War II combat veterans and 198 former prisoners of war. As predicted, binge eating was relatively rare in combat veterans but was significantly more prevalent in veterans who, as prisoners in German prisoner of war camps, lost significant amounts of weight during their captivity. Our data thus support the contention that starvation or dieting seems to precede binge eating.
食物限制与暴饮暴食相关，但限制导致暴饮暴食的证据不足。在本研究中，我们调查了67名二战退伍军人和198名前战俘战后的暴饮暴食情况。正如预期的那样，暴饮暴食在退伍军人中相对少见，但在那些在德国战俘营中作为囚犯时体重显著减轻的退伍军人中更为普遍。因此，我们的数据支持了饥饿或节食似乎先于暴饮暴食的观点。
