520 _aThis article discusses a community-based study that examined why some women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse develop an eating disorder, whereas others develop depression and anxiety, and others show no adverse psychological sequelae. The data is derived from an earlier study, and the results confirm higher rates of eating disorders in women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. Onset of menarche at an early age, belonging to a younger age cohort, and paternal overcontrol independently increased the risk of developing an eating disorder in women who had experienced childhood sexual abuse. The development of anorexia nervosa was specifically associated with low maternal care, whereas early age of menarche was the only specific variable that differentiated women with bulimia nervosa. Belonging to a younger age cohort and menarche onset at an early age also differentiated the childhood sexual abuse and eating disorder women from the childhood sexual abuse women who had only anxiety or depression. The authors point out that the risk factors for eating disorder development in women with a history of childhood sexual abuse are similar to those that operate in the general population. Limitations of the study are discussed.
