that is an interesting study - thank you. like many studies of this kind, it contributes a little piece of the puzzle. however, the results do not suggest that sexual abuse is not a risk factor for anorexia; rather, the authors say "we found only equivocal evidence of an association between report of multiple episodes of CSA and the partial syndrome of anorexia nervosa". we may note that the study itself is good-sized; however, the cases of anorexia and bulimia they looked at were only about 60 altogether.
