In this study, latent profile analysis was used to attempt to identify clusters of bulimic subjects based on psychiatric co-morbidity and personality.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <jats:p><jats:bold>Method.<\/jats:bold> A total of 178 women with bulimia nervosa or a subclinical variant of bulimia nervosa completed a series of self-report inventories of co-morbid psychopathology and personality, and also provided a buccal smear sample for genetic analyses.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <jats:p><jats:bold>Results.<\/jats:bold> Three clusters of bulimic women were identified: an affective-perfectionistic cluster, an impulsive cluster, and a low co-morbid psychopathology cluster. The clusters showed expected differences on external validation tests with both personality and eating-disorder measures. The impulsive cluster showed the highest elevations on dissocial behavior and the lowest scores on compulsivity, while the affective-perfectionistic cluster showed the highest levels of eating-disorder symptoms. The clusters did not differ on genetic variations of the serotonin transporter gene.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.<\/jats:bold> This study corroborates previous findings suggesting that the bulimia nervosa diagnostic category is comprised of three classes of individuals based on co-morbid psychopathology and personality. These differences may have significant etiological and treatment implications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291704004234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,19]],"date-time":"2005-04-19T14:14:18Z","timestamp":1113920058000},"page":"649-657","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":118,"title":["Personality subtyping and bulimia nervosa: psychopathological and genetic correlates"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"STEPHEN A.","family":"WONDERLICH","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ROSS D.","family":"CROSBY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"THOMAS","family":"JOINER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"CAROL B.","family":"PETERSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANNA","family":"BARDONE-CONE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MARJORIE","family":"KLEIN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"SCOTT","family":"CROW","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JAMES E.","family":"MITCHELL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"DANIEL","family":"LE GRANGE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"HOWARD","family":"STEIGER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"GREG","family":"KOLDEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"FRANK","family":"JOHNSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"SUZANNE","family":"VRSHEK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,12]]},"container-title":["Psychological Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0033291704004234","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,20]],"date-time":"2025-06-20T23:23:31Z","timestamp":1750461811000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0033291704004234\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,12]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,8]]}},"alternative-id":["S0033291704004234"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0033291704004234","relation":{},"ISSN":["0033-2917","1469-8978"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0033-2917","type":"print"},{"value":"1469-8978","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,12]]}}}
