LOINC description : A questionnaire to assess eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, which is a
refusal to maintain normal weight, and bulimia nervosa characterized by episodes of
binge eating followed by vomiting, use of laxatives, or fasting (American Psychiatric
Association, 2000). This measure is used to screen an individual for the presence
of an eating disorder. Eating disorders are more prevalent among women in industrialized
nations and range from 0.5% for anorexia nervosa to 3% for bulimia nervosa. Eating
disorders are accompanied by unhealthy attitudes about body shape and weight and co-occur
with a number of other disorders including depression, obsessive compulsive disorders,
anxiety disorders and personality disorders. Nutritional deficiencies associated with
eating disorders can lead to renal failure, cardiovascular disease and menstrual problems
(American Psychiatric Association, 2000).;
