334 Citations1995Martin Fisher, Neville H. Golden +7 more
Although eating disorders primarily affect adolescents and young adults, much of the recent medical and psychiatric literature fails to consider the unique physiologic, psychologic, and developmental issues relevant to younger patients, more often describing older patients with more chronic and intractable disease.

334 Citations1995Ellen E. Walters, K S Kendler
Both the pattern of comorbidity and the relationship to epidemiologic risk factors suggested an etiologic continuity between narrowly and broadly defined anorexic syndromes, which support the hypothesis of a spectrum of anoreXic-like Syndromes in women.
