โœฆ Synopsis

Objective:

This is a study of prevalence rates for anorexia nervosa (an) and bulimia nervosa (bn) in an epidemiological sample of swiss adolescents.

Method:

A two-stage approach was used which involved the screening of a large sample of adolescents aged 14-17 and subsequent interviews of screen-positive and control subjects.

Results:

The prevalence rates for adolescent girls were 0.7% for an and 0.5% for bn.

Discussion:

Full clinical syndromes of an and bn in adolescents are by far less frequent than individual symptoms of eating disorders. there is more cross-cultural variation for prevalence rates in bn than in an.
