The Yale-Brown-Cornell eating disorder scale: a new scale to assess eating disorder symptomatology

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the cause of eating disorders of the anorectic and bulimic patients by Yale-Brown-Cornell Eating Disorder scale reveals that preoccupations and rituals are responsible for their eating disorder. Mild to severe severity level is found for the symptomatology of the patients, with mean score in the moderate range. Preoccupation has greater impact on eating disorders than rituals, and patients have no control over it. Rituals can be controlled somewhat by the patients.

More males seek treatment for eating disorders

Article Abstract:

There are more notable similarities than differences between males and females with eating disorders, according to research undertaken among men and women admitted to the eating disorders unit of The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, Westchester Division. There were similar levels of comorbid psychopathology in male and female patients matched for eating disorder subtype, current age and age at onset of the eating disorder. However, it was found that diet pill and laxative abuse is much less common in male than in female bulimics.
