Bulimia nervosa in Hong Kong Chinese patients.

S Lee1, L K Hsu, Y K Wing.   

Abstract

In contrast to the West, bulimic disorders are rarer than anorexia nervosa in Hong Kong. Four female normal-weight bulimic patients with mostly typical clinical features and conspicuous morbidity are reported. The case histories support the hypothesis that binge-eating is used to regulate unpleasant effect.
