| Abstract: | Background: Despite a growing body of literature reporting disordered eating in non-Western countries in recent years, the majority of these studies were limited to questionnaire- based surveys or case series studies. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and correlates of EDs in Taiwanese high school students. Methods: The study subjects consisted of all the female high school students enrolled in the gifted dance class in 2003 in Taiwan (n = 655) and non- dance female students randomly chosen from the same school( n = 1251). All the participants were asked to complete self - report questionnaires, including the Eating Attitudes Test - 26 and Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh. All the screen positives and an approximate 10% random sample of the screen negatives were then interviewed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR Axis I disorders Patient version. Results: The prevalence of individual ED was much higher in the dance (0.7% for anorexia nervosa, 2. 5% for bulimia nervosa, and 4.8% for EDs, not otherwise specified) than that in the non-dance (0.1%, 1.0%, and 0.7%, respectively) students. The multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that being in dance class, higher concern in body shape and lower family support were correlates of EDs for all students, whereas lower parental education level was associated with EDs only for non-dance students. Conclusion: The EDs were more prevalent in weight-concern subpopulation. Although anorexia nervosa is still rare, bulimia nervosa has emerged as a comparable prevalent disorder in Taiwan as in Western countries. |
