Abstract

The notions of 'early-onset' and 'prepubertal' anorexia nervosa are reviewed, with particular reference to the role of the pubertal process within the condition. A database of 650 female cases is utilized to identify a small sub-group (n = 30) who developed the condition before the menarche. Many clinical, familial, social and precipitating factors distinguish this group from post-pubertal cases as a whole, and a sub-group of post-menarcheal cases (n = 42) matched for age. An explanation for previous inconsistent findings in 'early-onset' and 'prepubertal' anorexia nervosa is advanced.
