Abstract

Using the equipment which can optionally transform the body shape incorporated in the computer, the ideal value of the body image of the eating disorder patients and normal controls was measured. The correlation between the ideal value of the waist and hip girth and the scores of the Eating Disorder Inventory was examined. Normal subjects thinned the ideal value of the waist and hip girth based on the drive for thinness. The patients with bulimia nervosa thinned the ideal value of waist and hip girth based on the body dissatisfaction. On the other hand, the patients with anorectic patients (bulimic/purging type) thinned the ideal value of the waist and hip girth based on the drive for thinness and bulimia. The patients with anorexia nervosa (restricting type) thinned the ideal value of the waist and hip girth not based on the drive for thinness but on the ineffectiveness, the fear of maturity and the interoceptive awareness. These results suggest that eating disorder patients were different criteria for the evaluation of the body image compared with normal subjects.
