一份保密的问卷，涵盖了DSM-III标准神经性厌食症和贪食症，管理三个样本的学生，共1060人，在两所大学和一所中学。虽然没有男性受访者符合DSM-III标准的任何一种疾病，1.0%至4.2%的女性符合DSM-III标准的神经性厌食症的历史（有或没有贪食症的历史），和额外的6.5%至18.6%符合DSM-III标准的贪食症的历史。即使考虑到未回答者的数量，可能的假阳性问卷回答，以及DSM-III标准本身的局限性，患病率似乎很高。考虑到不同样本的平均年龄，我们的结果与之前的两项研究密切相关，每项研究都只调查了一个学生样本。这些结果增加了越来越多的证据，表明饮食失调是一个严重的公共卫生问题。
A confidential questionnaire, covering the DSM-III criteria for anorexia nervosa and bulimia, was administered to three samples of students, totalling 1060 individuals, at two colleges and a secondary school. Although none of the male respondents met DSM-III criteria for either disorder, 1.0% to 4.2% of women met DSM-III criteria for a history of anorexia nervosa (with or without a history of bulimia), and an additional 6.5% to 18.6% met DSM-III criteria for a history of bulimia alone. Even when allowance is made for the number of nonrespondents, possible falsepositive questionnaire responses, and the limitations of the DSM-III criteria themselves, the prevalence rates appear substantial. Taking into account the mean ages of various samples, our results agree closely with two previous studies that each examined a single sample of students. These results augment the growing evidence that the eating disorders represent a serious public health problem.
