According to foreign media reports, the latest medical research points out that patients with alcohol addiction are more likely to develop eating disorders, the most obvious of which is bulimia, which may be related to the type of gene. In September, the latest issue of the Journal of Alcohol and Drug Research published a study report pointed out that patients with alcohol addiction are more likely to have eating disorders, and the same eating disorder patients, also more likely to alcohol addiction, which may be related to the type of genes. Participating in the study, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo Enchirnoff said that some studies have found that patients with eating disorders have a higher proportion of alcoholism and alcohol addiction, and some studies have found that the rate of bulimia in patients with alcohol addiction, more than the rate of anorexia, but the relationship between the two can be explained from the genetic point of view, and so far there has been no further investigation. Moenchilnov and his team studied 6,000 Australian twins, analyzing their daily drinking and eating habits through a series of diagnostics. The researchers compared the data between the twins and found that genes seem to play an important role in whether someone develops alcoholism, bulimia or anorexia; for example, in female twins, the rate of the three disorders can be determined by genes, with risk indices ranging from 38% to 53%.
