Jiménez-Murcia, Susana Granero, Roser Penelo Werner, Eva Masuet Augmantell, Cristina Agüera, Zaida Fernández Aranda, Fernando Anorexia nervosa Bulimia nervosa Eating disorders Personality Substance abuse This work is part of the dissertation of IK at the Universitat de Barcelona Aim: To assess lifetime substance abuse, family history of alcohol abuse/dependence, and novelty seeking in three different eating disorder groups (anorexia nervosa-restrictive; anorexia nervosa-binge eating/purging; anorexia nervosa to bulimia nervosa). Method: A total sample of 371 eating disorder patients participated in the current study. Assessment measures included the prevalence of substance abuse and family history of alcohol abuse/dependence as well as the novelty-seeking subscale of the Tempera- ment and Character Inventory-Revised. Results: Significant differences across groups were detected for lifetime substance abuse, with anorexia nervosa-restrictive individuals exhibiting a signifi- cant lower prevalence than the anorexia nervosa to bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa-binge eating/purging patients (P < 0.01). For family history of alcohol abuse/dependence the same pattern was observed (P = 0.04). Novelty seeking was associated with substance abuse (P = 0.002), with the anorexia nervosa to bulimia nervosa group exhibiting signifi- cantly higher scores on the novelty-seeking scale than the other two groups (P < 0.001). But family history of alcohol abuse/dependence was not related to novelty seeking (P = 0.092). Conclusion: Lifetime substance abuse appears to be more prevalent in anorexia nervosa patients with bulimic features. Higher novelty-seeking scores may be associated with diagnosis cross-over. 2025-10-17T18:19:31Z 2025-10-17T18:19:31Z 2009 Article http://hdl.handle.net/2072/487756 Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo 04/0619 Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo CB06/03 Generalitat de Catalunya 2005/SGR-00322 Generalitat de Catalunya 2005 FI 00425 European Commission 215839 Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences ; Vol. 63 (2009), p. 82-87 open access Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
