The results of a multisite field trial involving 1,984 subjects indicate that the disorder is common (30.1%) among subjects attending hospital-affiliated weight control programs, but is relatively rare in the community (2.0%). The disorder is more common in females than in males and is associated with severity of obesity and a history of marked weight fluctuations. Based on these results, the DSM-IV Work Group on Eating Disorders has recommended that the disorder be considered for inclusion in DSM-IV, either as an official category or in an appendix of categories requiring further study.
