These were then contrasted with the literature on anorexia nervosa where puberty has been proposed as a potential risk factor for the development of the disorder. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: These four plays endorse a common understanding in early modern popular culture that puberty presents a major developmental challenge for young women. Four common precipitating factors for the development of green-sickness were identified: socio-economic status; age at onset; nutrition and sexual development. These have a striking resemblance to our current understanding of the development of anorexia nervosa in adolescence. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion: Green-sickness shares certain similarities with anorexia nervosa. It is a post menarcheal condition arising out of the body's ripeness for reproduction at around the age of 14. Affluence and improved nutrition were recognized as contributory factors. The development of both green-sickness and anorexia nervosa appear to share a common theme in the context of puberty. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/10398560902914581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,1]],"date-time":"2009-10-01T22:19:57Z","timestamp":1254435597000},"page":"380-384","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Pubertal Process and Green-Sickness in Renaissance Drama: A Form Fruste of Anorexia Nervosa?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ursula","family":"Potter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of English, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger","family":"Bartrop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Psychological Medicine, University of Sydney"},{"name":"Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Touyz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10398560902914581","first-page":"9","volume":"1","author":"Beumont PJV","year":"1991","journal-title":"Clinics in Applied Nutrition"},{"key":"bibr2-10398560902914581","first-page":"10","volume-title":"Selected papers from the 1st Asian Pacific Eating Disorders Congress","author":"Beumont P.","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr3-10398560902914581","first-page":"246","volume-title":"The Premodern Teenager","author":"Potter U","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr4-10398560902914581","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203487105"},{"volume-title":"Mystical Bedlam: Madness, Anxiety, and Healing in Seventeenth-Century England","year":"1981","author":"MacDonald M","key":"bibr5-10398560902914581"},{"volume-title":"Eating Disorders: the Facts6th edn","year":"2008","author":"Abraham S","key":"bibr6-10398560902914581"},{"volume-title":"Anorexia Nervosa: Let Me Be","year":"1980","author":"Crisp AH","key":"bibr7-10398560902914581"},{"key":"bibr8-10398560902914581","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291700003056"},{"volume-title":"Culpeper's Directory for Midwives or a Guide for Women","year":"1662","author":"Culpeper N","key":"bibr9-10398560902914581"},{"volume-title":"The Hidden Treasures of the Art of Physick.
