“…Most likely, these figures represented an underestimation of the actual incidence due to incomplete data accrual. Stein, Meged, Bar-Hanin, Blank, Elizur, and Weizman (1997), Stein et al (1999), Stein, Bronstein, and Weizman (2003) evaluated the rate of subsyndromal restrictive and bingeing/purging-type EDs in a series of female 10-12th graders and army recruits according to the combination of a pathological EAT score (>22 points) and the presence of some of the DSM-IV criteria for AN or BN. Between 12 and 21% of the subjects were identified as having a subdyndromal restrictive-type ED, and 8-19% were identified as having a subdyndromal bingeing/purging-type ED.…”

Israel presents a unique opportunity to study the role of socio-cultural parameters in the development of mental disturbances because of the exceptional diversity of the Israeli society. In the present review, we aimed to analyse the current state of disordered eating in Israel by means of an extensive literature review. The following are the main findings of our review: The frequency of maladaptive eating among female and male Israeli Jewish adolescents is higher in comparison to many other Westernized countries. Among different Jewish sub-populations, Kibbutz women have been found until recently to show higher rates of disordered eating in comparison to other Israeli samples. Recent studies show no such difference between Kibbutz members and the general Israeli population. No clear-cut findings emerge with respect to the influence of immigration and degree of Jewish religious affiliation on the occurrence of disordered eating. In contrast, disordered eating is less prevalent in Israeli-Arabs compared with Israeli-Jews. Moreover, diverse Israeli-Arab groups show different rates of disordered eating. We discuss the high rate of disordered eating in Israeli youth in light of Israel being a culture in transition that is constantly exposed to the risk of terrorism. The changes in the rates of disordered eating in the Kibbutzim are discussed in light of the dramatic societal changes occurring in these communities within a relatively brief period of time. The low rates of disordered eating in Israeli-Arabs reflect the traditional non-Westernized characteristics of their society, whereas the differences between diverse Arab sub-populations depend upon the degree of exposure to Westernized influences and the presence of conflicts between modern and traditional values.

“…A score of 22 or more is considered maladaptive [29]. We used the Hebrew version of the EAT-26 [30], which has been shown to have adequate psychometric properties in large samples of female Israeli adolescents and young adults [25,26,30].…”

“…These patients are also more likely to engage in other health risk behaviors such as substance use and suicide attempts [24]. Females diagnosed with partial BN may demonstrate elevated depression, obsessionality, impulsivity, and overall psychosocial distress, as well as decreased coping, compared to those with partial AN [25,26]. Some authors have proposed that the presence of additional non-ED disturbances may differentiate non-pathological dieters from individuals classified with partial EDs [27].…”

“…In keeping with our previous studies [25,26], we obtained a diagnosis of partial ED with the combination of a maladaptive EAT score (EAT-26>22 points) and adapted criteria of the DSM-IV [35] (low weight or amenorrhea for partial AN, and bingeing or purging behaviors under normal BMI for partial BN). Partial AN was defined as either a maladaptive EAT score and amenorrhea, a maladaptive EAT score and low body mass index (BMI) (BMI < 20) [36], or amenorrhea and low BMI.…”

“…En contraste con aquellas no afectadas, las adolescentes con trastornos parciales están en alto riesgo para desarrollar un trastorno completo, aunque, muchas pueden tener una remisión espontánea 29 . No obstante, comúnmente realizan más dieta en el año previo, informan un mayor cambio en la cantidad de ingesta alimentaria en situaciones de estrés y demuestran una elevada psicopatología general 31 .…”

Eating disorders not otherwise specified are the most common category of eating disorders encountered in routine clinical practice. Their prevalence fluctuates from 2.4% to 12.6% among female adolescents and up to 60% of cases in treatment centres. Binge eating disorder is the most differentiated subtype. Peripuberal period, diabetes mellitus type I, intense and increased physical activity, demographic and psychosociocultural aspects, physical and psychopathological diseases are risk factors. Clinical features, course, outcome and therapeutic approaches are similar to those of full syndromes. From an etiological point of view, some authors believe that there is a continuum from altered eating behaviors and concerns about body shape and weight to typical anorectic and/or bulimic disorders. Others classify them as subcategories of full or mixed disorders. In conclusion, these conditions are heterogeneous syndromes that need to be reconsidered from both nosological and conceptual perspectives. They also demand an early recognition and treatment and further research about these disorders is required (Rev Méd Chile 2008; 136: 1589-98). (
