目的：提出拉丁裔人群终生和 12 个月 DSM-IV 饮食失调的全国估计值和相关性。方法：数据来自国家拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究 (NLAAS)，这是一项针对美国拉丁裔的全国流行病学家庭调查。结果：拉丁裔暴食症和暴食症的发生率较高，但神经性厌食症和神经性贪食症的患病率较低。事实证明，在美国出生的人和一生中大部分时间生活在美国的人患某些饮食失调的风险较高，而严重肥胖和教育水平低则具有显着相关性。治疗利用率极低。结论：由于饮食失调症状表现的文化差异，标准饮食失调标准可能不适合理解拉丁裔，特别是文化程度较低的拉丁裔的饮食失调心理发病率。应制定更能反映拉丁裔疾病经历的饮食模式紊乱标准。 (c) 2007 年，Wiley periodicals, Inc.
Objective: To present national estimates and correlates of lifetime and 12-month DSM-IV eating disorders for Latinos.Method: Data come from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS), a national epidemiological household survey of Latinos in the United States.Results: Latinos have elevated rates of any binge eating and binge eating disorder but low prevalence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The US born and those living a greater percentage of their lifetime in the US evidenced higher risk for certain eating disorders while severe obesity and low levels of education were significant correlates. Rates of treatment utilization were exceedingly low.Conclusion: Standard eating disorder criteria may not be appropriate for understanding psychological morbidity of eating disorders for Latinos, particularly less acculturated Latinos, due to cultural differences in the presentation of eating disorder symptoms. Criteria for disturbed eating patterns that are more reflective of the illness experience of Latinos should be developed. (c) 2007 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
