Use of extreme weight control behaviors with and without binge eating in a community sample: Implications for the classification of bulimic-type eating disorders

Article Abstract:

An examination is presented of the levels of eating disorder psychopathology and functional impairment associated with the use of purging and non-purging methods of weight control in a community-based sample of women. Participants reporting recurrent bulimic episodes had significantly higher levels of eating disorder psychopathology and functional impairment than those who did not.

Is multi-impulsive bulimia a distinct type of bulimia nervosa: Psychopathology and EMA findings

Article Abstract:

A study seeks to determine if clinically defined multi-impulsive bulimia (MIB) can be validated using an empirical classification approach. It is found that clinical classification of MIB is empirically supported through Latent Class Analysis (LCA), and although both the classes identified by LCA failed to differ in bulimic behavior, MIB appears to represent a group of bulimic individuals with significant trauma histories and associated psychopathology.
