The developmental association between eating disorders symptoms and symptoms of depression and anxiety in juvenile twin girls
Article Abstract:
The role of genetic and environmental factors in the development association among symptoms of eating disorders, depression, and anxiety syndromes in 8-13 year old and 4-17 year old twin girls is investigated. The results suggest a pervasive genetic effect that influences liability to symptoms of over-anxiety, separation anxiety, depression and eating disorder throughout development, a shared environmental influence on later adolescent eating problems and persistent separation anxiety, genetic influences specific to early eating disorders symptoms.
