作者确定了139名职业女性和234名大学生中暴食和贪食症的患病率。虽然在57名（41%）职业女性和161名（69%）大学女性中发现了暴食症，但在职业女性中只有2名（1%）和12名（5%）大学女性中发现了暴食症。这些发现虽然意义重大，但与流行的报道形成鲜明对比，即一半或更多的年轻女性患有饮食失调症。此外，他们揭示了职业女性和大学女性之间暴食行为患病率的系统差异。结果进行了讨论的因素，可能与贪食症在这两个样本的妇女。
The authors determined the prevalence of binge eating and bulimia in samples of 139 working women and 234 women who were university students. Although binge eating was found in 57 (41%) of the working women and 161 (69%) of the university women, the syndrome of bulimia was found in only two (1%) of the working women and 12 (5%) of the university women. These findings, although significant, stand in sharp contrast to popular reports that one-half or more of young women suffer from eating disorders. Further, they reveal systematic differences in the prevalence of bulimic behaviors between working women and university women. Results are discussed in terms of factors that might be associated with bulimia in these two samples of women.
