此前的研究发现，患有神经性厌食症和神经性贪食症的女性凝聚力较弱。这项研究的目的是检查从进食障碍(ED)中恢复的女性是否也具有较弱的连贯性。共有42名康复的勃起功能障碍妇女和42名健康妇女接受了一系列五项神经心理学测试，这些测试衡量了全球或局部功能的各个方面。勃起功能障碍恢复组的局部加工优于健康组，而整体加工较差。这些结果表明了弱连贯性。弱相干是一种稳定的特征，而不是一种状态效应，这一发现表明它可能是ED的一种内表型。
Previous work has found that women with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa have weak coherence. The aim of this study was to examine whether women who had recovered from an eating disorder (ED) also had weak coherence. A total of 42 recovered ED women and 42 healthy women were assessed with a battery of five neuropsychological tests that measure aspects of global or local functioning. The recovered ED group showed superior local processing and poorer global processing than the healthy group. These results are indicative of weak coherence. The finding that weak coherence is a stable characteristic rather than a state effect suggests that it may be an endophenotype for ED.
