Abstract:
Menstrual disorders are among the most frequent somatic complications and symptoms of eating disorders. This study was designed to assess the prevalence of eating disorders connected to menstrual disorders of a non-organic origin in women at two gynecological out-patient departments. We performed a survey via questionnaires (ANIS: Anorexia Nervosa Inventory Scale; BCDS: Bulimic Cognitive Distortions Scale; BITE: Bulimia Investigation Test, Edinburgh; EDI: Eating Disorders Inventory; BDI: Beck Depression Inventory). Among 75 women tested we found a prevalence figure of 4% for anorexia nervosa (AN) and 12% for bulimia nervosa (BN). The total prevalence of clinical and subclinical eating disorders syndromes was 44%. The prevalence of depression was 64% for all respondents, whilst severe depression accounted for 11%. This study demonstrates the (relatively) higher frequency of bulimia nervosa in Hungary, compared with other countries.
