The nutrient intake of women with bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

A study involving the meal patterns and nutrient intake of women with bulimia nervosa (BN) relative to clinical variables and recommended dietary allowances was undertaken through evaluation of the 14-day nutrient intake of 50 bulimic patients. Results revealed that nutrient deficiencies particulary iron, zinc, and calcium as well as pregnancy-induced folate and vitamin B12 deficiency in gestating women incurred during nonbinge eating risks of being unsupplemented during binge eating. The problem should be addressed alongside with treatment of the disorder.

Initial manifestations of disordered eating behavior: dieting versus binging

Article Abstract:

The onset of binge eating and dieting in 108 bulimic women aged 17 to 45 was investigated. The study sought to determine when the disordered eating behavior was first manifested, whether binge eating followed dieting or vice versa, and whether dieting preceded the development of the full syndrome of bulimia nervosa. The study also examined possible differences in the clinical features of bulimia nervosa, and in comorbidity and psychological characteristics between women who dieted first and those who binged first.

Correlates of severity in bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

A randomized clinical trial of 114 women afflicted with bulimia nervosa is conducted to examine the correlates of severity of this type of eating disorder. Regression models were developed to identify the relationships between correlates and severity indices. Results indicate that the degree of severity is directly related to character scores and the age of onset of the disorder. The validity of these results need further study.
