Abstract
Sixty-nine subjects with abnormal eating attitudes ascertained from an epidemiological study in family practice were followed-up for a period of up to 30 months. There was little clinical change in patients with the full syndrome of bulimia nervosa or with partial syndromes. Subjects who were dieting obsessionally at entry to the study appeared to have a definite potential to develop more severe syndromes. Early intervention to prevent the development of chronic dieting may be important in the prevention of eating disorders.
