“…Between 35% and 78% ofbulimic patients have been reported to satisfy the DSM-III criteria for a diagnosis of affective disorder during the acute stage of illness (Gwirtsman, Roy-Byrne, Yager, & Gerner, 1983;Hatsukami et al, 1984;Herzog, 1982;Hudson et al, 1982;Hudson et al, 1984;. This high incidence of depressive symptoms in bulimia has led to the hypothesis that bulimia is a variant of an affective disorder.…”

The purpose of this article is to integrate diverse research efforts in an attempt to move toward an understanding of risk factors for bulimia. For this task, three questions in particular require attention. Because 90% of bulimics are women, a first question to address is, Why women? Second, despite the high prevalence of dieting and weight concerns among women in general, it is still a minority who evidence the clinical syndrome of bulimia, leading to the question, Which women in particular? These questions are considered from a range of perspectivesusociocultural, developmental, psychological, and biological Third, the rapidly increasing prevalence of bulimia in recent years raises yet another question, Why now? Our analysis points to research questions that must be examined before we can expand our understanding of the etiology of bulimia.

“…Overall, bulimic boys tended to have poor body image, mild depression, and mild social anxiety. The adjustment profile of these boys suggests that the psychological correlates of bulimia in adolescent boys is similar to that reported tnus far for older male bulimics (cf., Gwirtzman et al, 1984;Herzog et al, 1984;Mitchell & Goff, 1984). It was expected that vomiting in association with sports would be common among male bulimics.…”

“…Moreover, identification of the psychological correlates of bulimia in adolescents could be useful information for the etiology and prevention of eating disorders. In addition to clinical case reports of adolescents in treatment (e.g., Herzog, 1982;Bruch, 1973), one controlled study of high-school-aged youth that investigated bulimic-nonbulimic differences reported that bulimics were lower on the sense of well-being and communality scales of the California Psychological Inventory (Maceyko & Nagelberg, 1985). In another relevant study, high school girls who vomited reported more psychological symptoms on the General health Questionnaire (Carter & Duncan, 1984).…”

A bulimic episode during adolescence appears to be a risk factor for chronic eating disorders, yet little is known about the prevalence or psychosocial correlates of bulimia in this age group. The prevalence of bulimia was determined in a geographically, racially, and economically diverse sample of 1,373 high school boys and girls. In addition to DSM‐III criteria, a minimum binge‐eating frequency of once per month was employed. For bulimia, with purging, a minimum purging frequency of once per month was employed. Bulimia was identified in 9.6% of girls (with purging, 2.2%; without purging, 7.4%) and in 1.2% of boys (with purging, 0.1%; without purging, 1.1%). The two subtypes of bulimia subjects were demographically and psychologically equivalent. Bulimia subjects (combined) did not differ from normals on race, age, or SES. Bulimics exhibited more negative body image, negative self‐esteem, social anxiety, and depression than normals. In the total sample of students, general eating disorder symptomatology was predicted by measures of body image, depression, and social anxiety in girls and by body image and depression in boys.

“…A considerable number of studies have found a high incidence of concurrent depressed mood in patients with BN 25–30 . In addition, family studies of the coaggregation of eating and affective disorders show a high prevalence of affective disorders in the relatives of patients with BN.…”
