“…In our sample, prevalence of cyclothymic temperament was estimated at 25.2%. This number is elevated in comparison to other studies where prevalence rates in clinical samples range between 3% and 6% [17,32,33]. However, some authors state that cyclothymic temperament is largely underdiagnosed by clinicians.…”

“…Multiple studies show that ED and cyclothymic temperament are more frequent in females [31,36]. In the literature, the authors underline that a cyclothymic temperament in a women seems to augment the risk for ED-comorbidity [12,13,33]. Several authors explored the association between ED and cyclothymic temperament measured by the TEMPS scale: Signoretta et al [13] evaluated affective temperament and emotional and behavioral difficulties in a non-clinical sample of 1010 young students.…”

“…These findings corroborate the results of our study, especially for the female gender. Ramacciotti et al [33] studied affective temperaments in a patient sample with ED according to SCID (Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV Disorder), and compared them to a general population sample. There was no correlation between any affective temperament and anorexia nervosa.…”

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of eating disorders in a sample of young Tunisians and to study their links with cyclothymic temperament. Subjects and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study on 107 students from the Faculty of Medicine of Sfax, Tunisia. For assessment of eating disorders, we used the Eating Attitude Test with 40 items, in its validated Tunisian-Arabic version. For evaluation of cyclothymic temperament, the Arabic version of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San-Diego auto questionnaire (TEMPS-A) was used. Results: Prevalence of eating disorders was 21.5% in our sample. The percentage of students who had a cyclothymic temperament was 25.2%. We found a statistically significant correlation between eating disorders and cyclothymic temperament (p=0.000). Cyclothymic temperament increased by 3.75 the risk of developing eating disorders in female students. Conclusion: Our results corroborate the tendency to a more homogenous repartition of eating disorders worldwide. We found a positive correlation between eating disorders and cyclothymic temperament, which confirms the data of the recent, very scarce literature on the subject.

“…De plus, nous avons trouvé une association significative entre le tempérament cyclothymique et les TCA NS (p=0,048) rejoignant ainsi les données de la littérature [ 11 , 34 , 35 ]. Dans notre étude, une association significative a été trouvée entre le sexe féminin, les TCA NS et le tempérament cyclothymique.…”

“…Il est connu que les TCA, ainsi que la cyclothymie, sont plus fréquents chez le sexe féminin [ 30 , 32 ]. La présence d'un tempérament cyclothymique chez une femme paraît être potentialisateur des TCA, comme soulignent Hantouche et Signoretta [ 11 , 34 ].…”

IntroductionLes objectifs de notre étude ont été d'estimer la prévalence des troubles des conduites alimentaires (TCA) chez les jeunes tunisiens et étudier la relation entre le tempérament cyclothymique et les TCA.MéthodesNous avons ainsi mené une étude transversale descriptive et analytique. Elle a concerné 107 étudiants de l'Institut de Presse et des Sciences de l'Information de la Manouba, Tunisie. Pour l’évaluation des TCA, nous avons procédé par la passation de l'auto questionnaire EAT 40, dans sa version validée en Tunisie. C'est l'outil le plus utilisé pour le dépistage des TCA dans le monde. Pour l’évaluation du tempérament cyclothymique, nous avons utilisé le TEMPS A dans sa version arabe validée. Une fiche épidémiologique associée a permis de recueillir quelques facteurs sociodémographiques et hygiéno-diététiques.RésultatsLa prévalence des troubles de conduites alimentaires a été de 24,3%. Le pourcentage des étudiants ayant un score de tempérament cyclothymique ≥14 a été de 37,4%. Une association a été trouvée entre les troubles de conduites alimentaires et le tempérament affectif cyclothymique que ce soit selon l'approche dimensionnelle (p=0,005) ou selon celle catégorielle (p=0,046). Le tempérament cyclothymique multiplie par deux le risque de développer un TCA chez les étudiants de sexe féminin (p=0,04).ConclusionEs TCA sont fréquents chez nos étudiants particulièrement de sexe féminin. De plus, la présence d'un tempérament cyclothymique associé permettrait de suspecter doublement une appartenance au spectre bipolaire et devrait conduire à une attention particulière de la part du clinicien pour définir au mieux les stratégies thérapeutiques.

Temperaments and orthorexia nervosa: a cross-cultural study between Germany and Lebanon

et al. 2022

The aim of this study was to explore the association between affective temperaments and orthorexic eating and whether temperament may explain cross-cultural differences in this behavior while considering the two dimensions of orthorexic eating, healthy (HeOr) and nervosa (OrNe). To accomplish this, 337 and 389 individuals were recruited in Lebanon and Germany, respectively. The brief version of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego explored depressive, hyperthymic, cyclothymic, anxious and irritable temperaments, and the Teruel Orthorexia scale explored orthorexic eating. HeOr appeared comparable between countries but OrNe was higher in Lebanon. In terms of affective temperaments, the higher the depressive, cyclothymic, irritable, and anxious temperaments, the higher were the levels of OrNe. Only the hyperthymic temperament scale was positively associated with HeOr. Three-step regression analysis indicated only gender as a unique predictor for HeOr. By contrast, gender, depressive, hyperthymic, and anxious temperament as well as the two-way interactions country*depressive temperament and country*hyperthymic temperament were significant predictors of OrNe. The positive association between OrNe and depressive temperament was only found for the German sample while the negative association between hyperthymic temperament and OrNe was somewhat stronger in the Lebanese sample. Overall, a higher healthy interest in diet was linked to the hyperthymic temperament. Findings emphasized the role of temperaments in pathological orthorexic eating in general as well as in explaining cross-cultural differences in these behaviors. The assessment of temperaments could help to fit treatments for eating pathologies to individuals from different cultures, focusing interventions more on these aspects.
