TL;DR
The hypothesis that bulimia nervosa is the result of exposure to general risk factors for psychiatric disorder andrisk factors for dieting is supported.
Abstract
The findings support the hypothesis that bulimia nervosa is the result of exposure to general risk factors for psychiatric disorder and risk factors for dieting. An unexpected finding was the particularly high rates of premorbid negative self-evaluation and certain parental problems among those with bulimia nervosa.
