为了确定种族是否构成神经性厌食症预后的一个预后因素，我们对西班牙裔和白人神经性厌食症患者进行了回顾性图表分析。根据体重和月经功能将结局分为良好、中等或较差。本研究的病例来自加州圣地亚哥大学医学中心（UCSD）1975-1984年的招生情况，UCSD青少年医学诊所，以及圣地亚哥地区两位治疗大量进食障碍患者的精神科医生的办公室记录。这些病例包括20名白人和10名西班牙裔，年龄12-24岁。两个种族组之间的结局无统计学差异。西班牙裔组的人口统计数据与盎格鲁裔组相似。讨论了研究结果的局限性和研究的潜在偏见。我们的结论是种族本身似乎并没有对神经性厌食症的结果产生重大影响，但这个话题值得进一步研究。
To determine if ethnicity constitutes a prognostic factor in the outcome of anorexia nervosa, a retrospective chart review was done comparing Hispanic and Caucasian patients with anorexia nervosa. Outcome was categorized as good, intermediate, or poor based on body weight and menstrual function. The cases for the study were drawn from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Medical Center admissions 1975–1984, UCSD Adolescent Medicine Clinic, and from the office records of two San Diego area psychiatrists who treat large numbers of patients with eating disorders. The cases consisted of 20 Caucasians and 10 Hispanics, ages 12–24. No statistical difference in outcome was found between the two ethnic groups. The demographic data of the Hispanic group was similar to the Anglo group. The limitations of the findings and potential biases of the study are discussed. We conclude that ethnicity per se does not appear to have a major influence on outcome in anorexia nervosa, but this topic merits further investigation.
