背景。生活事件可能会加速神经性贪食症的发作。本研究旨在确定神经性贪食症女性饮食失调发病前一年内某些生活事件的发生率，并将其与年龄匹配的正常对照组进行比较。方法。受试者包括 102 名患有神经性贪食症的女性和 204 名没有饮食失调的女性，她们都是从同一社区的年轻成年女性样本中招募的。访谈措施用于诊断和评估生活事件。结果。神经性贪食症病例在饮食失调发生前一年报告的生活事件比同龄对照组报告的要多。涉及破坏家庭或社会关系或威胁人身安全的事件在神经性贪食症病例中尤其常见。结论。这些发现表明，某些生活事件可能会加速神经性贪食症的发作。该研究在设计上是回顾性的。对生活事件的作用进行前瞻性研究很有价值，但很难进行。
Background. Life events may play a role in precipitating the onset of bulimia nervosa. This study aimed to determine the rates of occurrence of certain life events during the year before onset of disordered eating in women with bulimia nervosa, and to compare them with the rates among age-matched normal controls. Methods. The subjects were 102 women with bulimia nervosa and 204 women without an eating disorder, all recruited from the same community sample of young adult women. Interview measures were used for diagnosis and for assessment of life events. Results. The bulimia nervosa cases reported more life events during the year before onset of disordered eating than were reported by controls of the same age. Events involving disruption of family or social relationships, or a threat to physical safety, were especially common among the bulimia nervosa cases. Conclusions. These findings suggest that certain life events may play a role in precipitating the onset of bulimia nervosa. The study was retrospective in design. Prospective studies of the role of life events would be valuable, but difficult to perform.
