Evidence of a link between reported sexual abuse and specific eating behaviours was considered in 100 anorexic women. The women were assessed as part of case series from two separate clinics. There was a strong association between reported unwanted sexual experiences and purging behaviours (vomiting and/or abusing laxatives). Anorexics who did not purge had lower reported rates of abuse. The pattern and prevalence rate of reported abuse were similar in the two clinics, suggesting that the association was not a product of a specific method of eliciting disclosure. Implications for treatment and possible causal mechanisms behind this relationship are discussed.
在100名厌食症女性中，研究了报告的性虐待与特定饮食行为之间的联系证据。这些女性作为来自两个不同诊所的病例系列的一部分接受了评估。报告的 unwanted性经历与清除行为（呕吐和/或滥用泻药）之间存在强烈关联。未进行清除行为的厌食症患者报告的虐待发生率较低。两个诊所报告的虐待模式和流行率相似，这表明这种关联不是特定披露方法的产物。讨论了这种关系对治疗的影响以及可能的因果机制。
