they are not currently more medically sick.

review:
"A glaring inadequacy in the literature" they point out, "is
a nearly universal absence of theoretical
underpinning. ... researchers studying childhood sexual abuse have
looked in isolation at many factors related to the impact of
abuse. Now it is time for us to combine them into more realistic
models." (pp. 174 and 176).

of an eating disorder, while an adverse family background may be an

review:
The higher rates of psychological, physical, and multiple abuse found
among women with a lifetime history of bulimia nervosa than among
comparison subjects underscore the importance of examining the full
range of possible abusive experiences in women with eating disorders,
rather than focusing simply on sexual abuse.

Are child sexual experiences related to eating-disordered attitudes and behaviours in a college sample?.
Int. Journal of Eating Disorders 9,: 167-178, 1990.
review:
Smolak et al. found a significant difference between victims
and nonvictims on the total score on the Eating Disorder Inventory,
but not on subscale scores. Furthermore, Eating Disorder Inventory
scores were unrelated to two measures, severity of abuse and
familarity with the abuser. Their composite results suggests that
there is no direct, simple relationship between childhood sexual abuse
and the attitudes and behaviours of subject with eating disorders.

Welch S.L. Fairburn, C.G.:
Sexual Abuse and Bulimia Nervosa: Three Integrated Case Control Comparisons.
American Journal of Psychiatry 151,3: 402-407, 1994.
review:
While the findings indicate that sexual abuse is a risc
factor for the development of bulimia nervosa, it does not appear to be
specific to bulimia nervosa nor is it relevant for most cases. Sexual
abuse appears to be a risc factor for psychatric disorder in general
(including bulimia nervosa) among young adult women. There was no
evidence that secondary referrals of bulimia nervosa are biased with
respect to sexual abuse.
