Definition Of Eating Disorder
Eating disorders are a group of serious conditions in which you're so preoccupied with food and weight that you can often focus on little else. The main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder.In participants with eating disorders (EDs), prior physical
or sexual abuse has been associated with increased likelihood of
impulsivity and affective instability. However, previous studies among
participants with eating disorders have not systematically explored
relationships between empirically derived, personality-trait-based
classes, on the one hand, and likelihood of exposure to either childhood
sexual or physical abuse, on the other.Observed associations between different forms of childhood abuse and
trait-defined ED variants help inform models on the development of
eating disorders and of psychopathological traits that often accompany
them.2009 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
