Abstract EN
Objective.
The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of comorbid eating disorders in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other common anxiety disorders.
Method.
179 patients from the same geographical area with a diagnosis of OCD or an anxiety disorder were divided into two groups based on their primary diagnosis.
The prevalence of a comorbid eating disorder was calculated in both groups.
Results.
There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of comorbid eating disorders between the OCD and other anxiety disorders group.
Conclusions.
These results suggest that the prevalence of comorbid eating disorders does not differ in anxiety disorders when compared with OCD.
However, in both groups, it remains statistically higher than that of the general population.
