Störungen im Essverhalten in der deutschen Bevölkerung^{[ *]}

Zusammenfassung

In einer repräsentativen deutschen Bevölkerungsstichprobe wurden mit dem Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire Prävalenzraten von Störungen im Essverhalten über Geschlecht, Alter und Gewicht hinweg bestimmt. Insgesamt 3,9% der Befragten zeigten Störungen im Essverhalten. Vor allem junge Frauen und adipöse Personen hatten eine erhöhte Wahrscheinlichkeit für diese Störungen, jedoch auch Männer und ältere Personen waren betroffen. Zukünftige Forschung sollte Störungen im Essverhalten in der Lebensspanne und über Geschlecht und Gewichtsstatus hinweg stärker berücksichtigen.

Abstract

In a representative German population sample, the prevalence of eating disturbances was determined using the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire. Overall, 3,9% revealed eating disturbances. In particular, young women and obese persons had an increased likelihood of these disturbances, but men and older persons were concerned as well. Further research is warranted on eating disturbances across the life span, both sexes and weight status.
