Empirically Determining Binge/Purge Frequency Thresholds for Differentiating Anorexia Nervosa‐Restricting Subtype vs. Binge–Purge Subtype
Findings suggest that one binge eating and/or purge episode in the past month provides adequate distinction between subtypes. These findings indicate that the DSM's definition of AN-BP may need to be revised to specify that the presence of any binge eating or purging, rather than "recurrent" binge eating or purging, is sufficient for subtyping AN.
