Papers published in indexed journals and graduate dissertations were retrieved, using \u201ceating disorders,\u201d \u201canorexia nervosa,\u201d \u201cbulimia nervosa,\u201d \u201cbody image,\u201d \u201cbinge eating,\u201d \u201crestrained eating,\u201d \u201cweight and shape concern,\u201d and \u201cdieting\u201d as keywords. These were combined with the Boolean operator \u201cAND\u201d with \u201cMexico\u201d and \u201cLatin America.\u201d Findings are presented for epidemiology, the validity of assessment instruments, comorbidity, and risk factors. A national representative survey found a prevalence of 1.8% for bulimia nervosa, and no cases of anorexia nervosa. However, the lack of studies with confirmatory clinical interview and other national or regional representative samples makes it difficult to reach conclusions about the actual prevalence. A number of instruments for the detection of eating disorders and disordered eating have been validated for the Mexican population. The comorbidity of eating disorders in Mexico includes drug and alcohol abuse, obesity, and borderline personality disorder. Risk factors found included body weight and cultural pressure to be thin. Future lines of research should include epidemiological studies with representative samples and diagnosis confirmation, longitudinal studies, and the exploration of protective and risk factors specific to this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00207590600760277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,30]],"date-time":"2007-03-30T12:36:31Z","timestamp":1175258191000},"page":"59-68","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A review of eating disorders research in Mexico"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Claudia","family":"Unikel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Psychiatry  Mexico City Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ietza","family":"Bojorquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Public Health  Cuernavaca Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","first-page":"9","article-title":"Insatisfacci\u00f3n corporal y seguimiento de dieta.
