PURPOSE: Body mass index has been often reported in the normal range in bulimic patients and the literature considering the association between bulimia nervosa (BN) and overweight is scant. The aim of the present study was to compare two groups of normal and overweight BN patients, carefully assessed for several clinical and psychopathological features.
METHODS: In the present cross-sectional study, a consecutive series of 124 female BN patients was divided into two groups according to their BMI: normal-weight group (with BMI ≤25; N = 91) and overweight group (with BMI >25; N = 33). The two clinical groups were evaluated and compared, to detect similarities and differences in terms of psychopathological and clinical features. Patients were assessed by means of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, the Emotional Eating Scale, the Body Uneasiness Test and the Symptom Checklist 90.
RESULTS: A relevant percentage of BN clinical patients were overweight. Normal-weight and overweight subjects did not differ in terms of eating disorder-specific psychopathology, with the exception of body uneasiness, which was higher in BN overweight patients. Among normal-weight patients, a significant correlation between emotional eating and binge eating frequency was observed, while this correlation was absent in BN overweight patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results stress the relevance of being overweight in a significant percentage of bulimic subjects and suggest that clinicians should be aware of the relevance of being overweight in these patients.
