目的：收集有关成人挑食及其相关因素的信息，并确定挑食是否与其他饮食失调症状不同。方法：近 6,895 名成年人完成了一项关于挑食行为、饮食失调症状和假定相关特征的网络调查。潜在类别分析用于根据挑食和饮食失调症状来识别群体，并对各组的显着人口统计学和临床特征进行比较。结果：潜在类别分析确定了四个不同的群体，这些群体的临床相关性和损害程度的严重程度有所不同。共病挑食/饮食失调组的发病率最高，其次分别是饮食失调、挑食和低病理组。讨论：需要未来的研究来记录挑食从儿童时期的连续性，建立成人挑食的流行病学，阐明临床意义的阈值，并阐明可为疾病学提供信息的临床特征。 (C) 2012 年，Wiley periodicals, Inc.
Objective: To gather information about picky eating and its correlates in adults and to determine whether picky eating is distinct from other eating disorder symptoms.Method: Nearly 6,895 adults completed a web-based survey of picky eating behaviors, eating disorder symptoms, and putative associated features. Latent class analysis was used to identify groups based on picky eating and eating disorder symptoms, and groups were compared on salient demographic and clinical characteristics.Results: The latent class analysis identified four distinct groups that differed in severity of clinical correlates and levels of impairment. Morbidity was highest in the comorbid picky eating/eating disorder group, followed by the eating disorder, picky eating, and low pathology groups, respectively.Discussion: Future research is needed to document the continuity of picky eating from childhood, establish the epidemiology of picky eating in adults, clarify thresholds of clinical significance, and elucidate clinical features that will inform nosology.
