Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in British blacks

NL Holden and PH Robinson
Institute of Psychiatry, de Crespigny Park, London.

Thirteen black patients were referred over 5 years to the eating- disorders unit at the Maudsley Hospital. Two suffered from anorexia nervosa and 11 from bulimia nervosa. This group was compared with a matched white control group from the total clinic population during that period. The Blacks had more commonly experienced parental divorce or separation, and premorbid obesity, and were more likely to be referred by the emergency services. Their lower educational achievements, and fathers of lower socio-economic status, reflected variation among the general black and white populations in this country, but their educational levels and social statuses were higher than in the general black population.
