Article Abstract:

Young women from various ethnic groups in Leicester, England, were compared to examine possible differences in their eating attitudes/problems and associated psychological problems. Two hundred thirty-five young women from the Caucasian (59.8), Asian (25.8%), Black (11%) and other (3.4%) ethnic groups aged 18-27 were examined regarding their eating and weight problems, self-esteem, general psychological well-being, illness perception and health seeking-behavior. No significant ethnicity-based differences were found in eating attitudes/problems, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and illness perception.

A role for Helicobacter pylori in the gastrointestinal complaints of eating disorder patients?

Article Abstract:

Helicobacter pylori's prevalence in anorectics and bulimics is examined to see if there is a basis for the patients' frequent gastrointestinal complaints. 32 subjects were tested of which six tested positive for H. pylori. There were no significant differences among the groups tested. The results indicate there is no increased prevalence of H. pylori in eating disorder patients and therefore, H. pylori is unlikely to be a cause of gastrointestinal complaints in afflicted individuals.
