Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives£ºThis study assessed the prevalence and clinical characteristics of eating disorder patients with alcohol use disorder in Korea.
Methods£ºWe assessed 418 female eating disorder outpatients on demographics, eating psychopathologies, personal characteristics, and alcohol-related problems via semistructured interviews.
Results£º17.2% of the patients reported the comorbidity of alcohol use disorder. Eating disorder combined with alcohol use disorder was more prevalent in patients with anorexia nervosa, (binge-eating/purging type) and bulimia nervosa than in those with anorexia nervosa (restricting type). Also, patients with an eating disorder combined with alcohol use disorder were more impulsive than were eating-disorder patients without alcohol use disorder.
Conclusion£ºWe found a meaningful subgroup of patients in Korea with both eating disorder and alcohol use disorder, having distinct sociodemographic characteristics and symptoms.
