Differences between binge eating disorder and nonpurging bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

Binge eating disorder (BED) differs from nonpurging bulimia nervosa (BN-NP) due to the absence of fasting and intense physical exercise. Patients with BED and BN-NP were investigated to assess the differences with regard to age and the route to binge eating. The study confirmed the substantial differences between BED and BN-NP patients, supporting the distinction made by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV.
