Cohabitation Lessens Bulimia Symptom

A five-year study of Norwegian teenagers living with bulimia has shown that binging and purging tended to wane once young women moved in with a partner or were married. Cohabitation did not improve their feelings about body image or prevent them from taking other unhealthy weight loss measures such as diet pills however, suggesting they merely eliminated the most visible and "socially unacceptable" symptoms of the disease when moving in with a partner.

ABSTRACT: Cohabitation reduces bulimic symptoms in young women
