“…Regarding marital status, a study was done to understand the clinical impact of marital status on the psychopathology and symptoms of eating disorder. According to this study, eating disorder patient who lives with a partner were those who presented with greater eating symptoms and psychopathology [36]. This too did not coincide with our studies as majority of our study population were single in status.…”

Introduction: Eating disorders are compulsive behaviours that can consume a person's life to the point of becoming life threatening. Medical college can be a very stressful time and previous studies had found that stress could be a main factor leading to higher risk of eating disorder. We aimed to determine the association between stress and eating disorders among undergraduate medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 320 respondents comprises of Year 3, 4 and 5 medical students in private medical college in Malaysia, assessed using self-administered questionnaires which consist of social demographic data, EAT-26 and Cohen Perceived Stress Scale. The response rate of this study was 77.4%. Results: With regards to EAT-26, 11.0% of medical students were at risk of developing eating disorder and from this students who have obese BMI status (25%) had 3.9 times more likely to develop eating disorder (95% CI: 1.4 -10.9). There was significant association between those with unsatisfactory social relationship with friends and peers (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.0 -5.9; p value 0.035) and risk of developing eating disorders (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.4 -10.9; p value 0.007). For Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), 75.5% of the respondents were having high stress level. There was no significant association between stress and the risk of eating disorders with OR 1.0, 95% CI: 0.6 -1.7; p value 0.887. Conclusion: Majority of medical undergraduates were under stressed and there was a risky trend toward eating disorders in medical. However, based on our results it did not portray any significant association between stress and risk of developing eating disorders. Nevertheless, it should not be completely neglected. It is important to increase the awareness of medical undergraduates regarding eating disorders and its complications.

“…[21][22][23] Researchers believe that pathologic eating patterns serve as a distraction or metaphor for relationship problems, such as a lack of support or closeness. [24][25][26][27] For example, nonpregnant patients with bulimia nervosa were found to report lower levels of both emotional and practical support than the control group of young female college students. 28 In the current study, we also hypothesized that a lower level of spousal support, in general, would predict disordered eating after childbirth.…”

“…A substantial number of people with eating disorders are in a long term intimate relationships (Bussolotti et al, 2002;Heavey, Parker, Bhat, Askok, & Crisp, 1989;Wiederman & Pryor, 1997) and are sexually active (Wiederman, 1996). However, a recent discussion of the literature concerning families of people with eating disorders noted: 'Interest in married patients-their choice of partners, their marital interactions {.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore partners' experiences of living as a couple with someone with bulimia nervosa.MethodTranscripts of eight exploratory interviews with partners were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.ResultsFive superordinate themes emerged: (1) Living with the secrecy and deception; (2) Struggling to understand and find reasons; (3) Discovering your powerlessness; (4) ‘It's like growing to live with it’; (5) Experiencing strengths and strains in the relationship.DiscussionLiving with someone with bulimia presents many challenges for partners. They struggle to understand what is happening, can find the secrecy difficult to live with, and are often left feeling powerless. However, partners also look to find ways of accepting and living with the bulimia. It is suggested that partners could be offered opportunities to access support, and that their perspectives could be a useful resource for therapeutic interventions.
