Events and the onset of eating disorders: correcting an "age old" myth
Article Abstract:
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are studied to verify earlier findings that there are differences between their early onset and late onset. Life events are considered a factor for late onset of anorexia, while their effect on bulimia is unknown. The results do not support previous studies that late onset of eating disorders are brought about by stress. In addition, no differences exist for women with stress-induced eating disorders to those who had it in the absence of stress.
