    Eating behaviour: social influences in open community nuns

    EUROPEAN EATING DISORDERS REVIEW, Issue 2 2003
    Juan A. Guisado Macías
    Abstract This article analysed the eating behaviour and the psychological discomfort in a sample of 44 religious women living in open communities. The Eating Attitudes Test-40 items, the Interview for the Diagnosis of Eating Disorders, the Bulimic Investigatory Test, and the revised Symptom Checklist-90 were used in order to assess the sample, and a factor analysis was performed. Three basic dimensions in the mental state were obtained: (1) Psychological discomfort, (2) Anorexic behaviour, and (3) Bulimic behaviour. Our results support the idea that people living in open communities share the social values regarding weight and body size, and show elevated levels of psychological discomfort strongly associated with symptoms of eating disturbances.

    Sexual orientation as a risk factor for bulimic symptoms

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EATING DISORDERS, Issue 6 2006
    Lars Wichstrøm PhD
    Abstract Objective: This study was carried out to examine whether sexual orientation predicts future bulimic symptoms and whether alleged risk factors associated with non-heterosexual sexual orientation explain the increased risk. Method: A nationally representative sample of Norwegian high school students (age 14,19; N = 2,924) completed self-reports about bulimic symptoms by means of the Bulimic Investigatory Test,Edinborough (BITE), same-sex sexual experience, degree of sexual attraction to the same sex, and alleged risk factors. They were reexamined 5 years later (T2). Results: Same-sex sexual experience before T1 increased the prevalence of bulimic symptoms at T2. Males who were attracted to the same sex at T1 had higher odds for bulimic symptoms compared with heterosexual males. These associations were still significant after controlling for initial bulimic symptoms and alleged risk factors. Conclusion: Same-sex sexual experience in both genders and non-heterosexual sexual attraction among males predict future bulimic symptoms. Commonly advocated explanations for this elevated risk were not supported. © 2006 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 2006 [source]

    Parental bonding and bulimic psychopathology: The mediating role of mistrust/abuse beliefs

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EATING DISORDERS, Issue 2 2004
    Caroline Meyer
    Abstract Objective To determine whether the previously reported relationship between parental bonding and bulimic psychopathology is mediated by the development of unhealthy core beliefs. Method One hundred and two nonclinical women completed the Parental Bonding Instrument, the short form of the Young Schema Questionnaire, and the Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh. Results Mistrust/abuse beliefs were found to be a partial mediator in the relationship between paternal overprotection and the severity of bulimic attitudes. Conclusions The findings suggest that the development of mistrust/abuse beliefs is important in determining the effect that paternal overprotection has on bulimic attitudes. © 2004 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Disturbed eating behaviors in Taiwanese adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a comparative study

    PEDIATRIC DIABETES, Issue 1 2009
    Yu-Yun Alice Hsu
    Objectives:, This study aimed to (i) compare disturbed eating behaviors in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) with a matched group of adolescents in Taiwan and (ii) examine the relationships of disturbed eating behaviors to body mass index (BMI) and metabolic control among adolescents with T1D. Methods:, A cross-sectional study was conducted in southern Taiwan. Seventy-one adolescents with T1D (aged 10,22 yr; 41 females and 29 males) were matched to a group of non-diabetic adolescents. Adolescents completed two self-reported measures of eating behavior, the Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh and the Eating Attitude Test-26. Metabolic control was assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin A1c levels. Results:, Both adolescent females and males with T1D had more symptoms of bulimia and bulimic behaviors than their non-diabetic peers. There were no group differences in the proportion of subthreshold eating disorders. BMI and metabolic control were significant factors predicting disturbed eating behaviors. Conclusions:, Both adolescent females and males with T1D exhibited a higher level of disturbed eating behaviors than their non-diabetic adolescent counterparts. Preventive programs that address disturbed eating behaviors should be provided for adolescents with T1D, particularly for adolescents with a high BMI and poor metabolic control. [source]

    Getting better byte by byte: a pilot randomised controlled trial of email therapy for bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder,

    EUROPEAN EATING DISORDERS REVIEW, Issue 2 2008
    Paul Robinson
    Abstract One hundred and ten people in an university population responded to emailed eating disorder questionnaires. Ninty-seven fulfilling criteria for eating disorders (bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), EDNOS) were randomised to therapist administered email bulimia therapy (eBT), unsupported Self directed writing (SDW) or Waiting list control (WLC). Measures were repeated at 3 months. Diagnosis, Beck depression inventory (BDI) and Bulimia investigatory test (BITE) scores were recorded. Follow-up rate was 63% and results must be interpreted cautiously. However significantly fewer participants who had received eBT or SDW fulfilled criteria for eating disorders at follow up compared to WLC. There was no significant difference between eBT and SDW in the analysis of variance (ANOVA), although in separate analyses, eBT was significantly superior to WLC (p,<,0.02) and the difference for SDW approached significance (p,=,0.06). BDI and BITE scores showed no significant change. For eBT participants there was a significant positive correlation between words written and improvement in BITE severity score. BN, BED and EDNOS can be treated via email. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association. [source]
