OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether individuals with anorexia nervosa are more likely to commit suicide, as suggested by previously noted associations between anorexia nervosa and mood disorders.
METHODS
Data from death records representing over 5 million women were examined, yielding 571 cases in which anorexia nervosa was mentioned as an existing condition. The women with anorexia were compared with 1713 control subjects matched for age, sex, and race.
RESULTS
The percentage of suicides among those listed as having anorexia nervosa was only 1.4%, compared with 4.1% for the controls.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that the suicide rate is not elevated among individuals currently suffering from anorexia nervosa.
目的
本研究旨在确定神经性厌食症患者是否如先前所述的神经性厌食症与情绪障碍之间的关联所暗示的那样，更有可能自杀。
方法
检查了代表500多万名女性的死亡记录数据，得出571例提及神经性厌食症为现有病症的病例。将患有厌食症的女性与1713名年龄、性别和种族匹配的对照对象进行比较。
结果
被列为患有神经性厌食症的人群中自杀的比例仅为1.4%，而对照组为4.1%。
结论
这些发现表明，目前患有神经性厌食症的个体自杀率并未升高。
