“…Female gender has been associated very strongly with the presence of eating disorders [16]. Family dysfunction with a negative intra-family climate has been shown to affect negatively the presence of eating disorders [17,18]. Apart from a negative family status, the status of being in a relationship has been shown to possibly affect the presence of eating disorders [19].…”

The objective of the present study was to assess factors predicting eating disorder risk in a sample of undergraduate students. A structured questionnaire was employed on a random sample (n = 1865) consisting of the following sections: demographics, SCOFF (Sick, Control, One stone, Fat, Food) questionnaire for screening eating disorders and the Achievement Anxiety Test and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. The students at risk for eating disorders (SCOFF score ≥2) were 39.7%. Eating disorder risk was more frequent in females, students with divorced parents, students who lived alone, students who were seeking a romantic relationship or were married, students who were at a post-secondary vocational institute/college (private-public) educational level and who were more likely to have marks under merit level. Also, the mean scores for the psychological factors of depression, stress and anxiety were higher in students with eating disorder risk. A logistic regression model was produced depicting that depression, stress, female gender, being married and searching for a romantic relationship were risk factors of having an eating disorder risk. The suggested psychological model examined with structural equation modelling signified the role of academic anxiety as an immediate precursor of general anxiety. Hence, college populations in Greece need organized infrastructures of nutrition health services and campaigns to assist in reducing the risk of eating disorders.

“…Early work in this area discovered that psychiatric illness was associated with higher rates of divorce (Briscoe, Smith, Robins, et al, 1973; Woodruff, Guze, & Clayton, 1972) and that the presence of major depression in a spouse was related to marital dysfunction (Rounsaville, Prusoff, & Weissman, 1980). More recently, significant family dysfunction has been reported across a variety of psychiatric disorders including: eating disorders (Garfinkel, Garner, Rose, et al, 1983; Shisslak, McKeon, & Crago, 1990; Steiger, Liquornik, Chapman, & Hussain, 1991); school phobia (Bernstein, Svingen, & Garfinkel, 1990); substance abuse (McKay, Murphy, Rivinus, & Maisto, 1991); and depressive disorders (Gordon, Burge, Hammen, et al, 1989; Keitner & Miller, 1990; King, Segal, Naylor, & Evans, 1993; Miller, Keitner, Whisman, et al, 1992).…”

The primary objective of the present investigation was to examine adaptive functioning in the families of patients with a wide range of psychiatric disorders. Seven dimensions of family functioning, as measured by the Family Assessment Device (FAD), were compared across families of patients with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder (n = 61), bipolar disorder (n = 60), major depression (n = 111), anxiety disorder (n = 15), eating disorder (n = 26), substance abuse disorder (n = 48), and adjustment disorder (n = 46). Families in each psychiatric group were also compared to a control group of nonclinical families (N = 353). Results indicated that regardless of specific diagnosis, having a family member in an acute phase of a psychiatric illness was a risk factor for poor family functioning compared to the functioning of control families. However, with few exceptions, the type of the patient's psychiatric illness did not predict significant differences in family functioning. Thus, having a family member with a psychiatric illness is a general stressor for families, and family interventions should be considered for most patients who require a psychiatric hospitalization for either the onset of, or an acute exacerbation of, any psychiatric disorder.

“…Steiger et al, 1993Wonderlich et al, 1994). Troisièmement, les résultats tendent à associer les troubles déve-loppementaux et familiaux (retrouvés dans les histoires de patients boulimiques) à la sévérité des manifestations de troubles de caractère plutôt qu'à la sévérité des symptômes alimentaires réels (Head et Williamson, 1990 ;Steiger et al, 1991 ;. En d'autres mots, les ré-sultats impliquent qu'un trouble de personnalité du type borderline est souvent associé avec l'occurrence d'un TA boulimique, mais que les déterminants de ce trouble de personnalité ne sont pas équivalents aux déterminants de la sévérité de la boulimie.…”

RÉSUMÉ Plusieurs types de preuves empiriques suggèrent que les troubles de l'alimentation (TA) peuvent être associés de façon importante avec ceux de la personnalité borderline (PB). Dans cet article, nous révisons les observations et données suggérant une affinité apparente entre la PB et la boulimie. Puis, nous discutons l'implication d'une PB comorbide quant à l'expression symptomatique et à la réponse au traitement des TA. Enfin, nous explorons les dimensions heuristiques permettant d'expliquer l'association spécifique de la PB avec les TA et une discussion propose des hypothèses de travail qui pourraient permettre de mieux distinguer l'impact des processus en cause dans les TA et la PB.
