Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of the DSM-III-R personality disorders in Korean college women with bulimia nervosa. Methods: Sixty-two subjects with bulimia nervosa, as identified by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R, were compared to the age- and gender-matched healthy comparison subjects(n=62) on the prevalence of Axis II disorders, as determined by both the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Personality Disorders(DIPD-R) and by the Personality Disorder Questionnaire-Revised(PDQ-R). Results: Subjects with bulimia nervosa had significantly greater prevalences of borderline personality disorder, Cluster B personality disorders, and any personality disorders compared to healthy comparison subjects(Fisher''s exact test, p=0.044, p=0.020, p=0.024, respectively, by the DIPD-R ; p=0.034, p=0.015, p=0.007, respectively, by the PDQ-R). Conclusions: This study reports greater prevalences of specific personality disorders, especially, borderline and Cluster B personality disorders in Korean college females with bulimia nervosa compared to comparison subjects.
