OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to examine the presence and severity of eating disorder pathology in students representing South Africa's ethnically and culturally diverse population.
METHOD
A questionnaire survey, which involved the Eating Attitude Test and the Bulimic Investigatory Test, was administered to 1,435 South African college students (739 Caucasian and 696 non-Caucasian) from six universities in two urban centers.
RESULTS
Black students scored significantly higher than the other ethnic groups on these measures. In addition, a comparable percentage of black and Caucasian female students had scores within the clinical range on these scales. Male students scored consistently lower than female students.
CONCLUSIONS
This study's findings challenge the notion that eating disorders are primarily a Western, Caucasian phenomenon and raise the possibility that the risk of eating disorders may increase in developing societies.
目的
本研究旨在调查代表南非种族和文化多样化人群的学生中饮食失调病理状况的存在情况及严重程度。
方法
对来自两个城市中心六所大学的1435名南非大学生（739名白种人和696名非白种人）进行问卷调查，其中包括饮食态度测试和贪食症调查测试。
结果
在这些测试中，黑人学生的得分显著高于其他种族群体。此外，黑人和白种女性学生在这些量表上临床范围内得分的比例相当。男学生的得分始终低于女学生。
结论
本研究结果挑战了饮食失调主要是西方白种人现象这一观念，并增加了饮食失调风险在发展中社会可能增加的可能性。
