DISORDER NOW EPIDEMIC

Anorexia nervosa debated

THE INCIDENCE of eating
disorders is so widespread among
young women that recommenda-
tions calling for public and school
education programs on anorexia
nervosa. aid bulimia will be
debated at the BC Medical
Association’s Canada West Medi-
cal Congress in Vancouver June 29
to July 5.

The BCMA’s Nutrition Com-
mittee, headed by Dr. Hedy Fry,
feels that the problem is becoming
epidemic.

ONE IN FIVE

“It is estimated that one in five
college-aged women in BC suffer
from bulimia,”’ says Dr, Fry, ‘‘and
hundreds of females, from $2 to
30, are also suffering from anorex-
ia nervosa, both serious health-
threatening eating disorders.”’ ‘

The nutrition committee would
also like to see a public awareness
campaign on the potential dangers
of some weight loss centres’ diet
programs.

“The BCMA and the BC Dieti-
cians and Nutritionists’ Associa-

‘tion have developed a ten-point
safe weight loss checklist,”’ says
Dr. Fry, ‘‘and we would urge doc-
tors to assess any centre’s diet us-
ing these criteria, That also means
we would like patients considering
going to a weight loss centre to
check with their doctors first."’

INTERNATIONAL SPEAKERS

There will be numerous other
recommendations brought to the
congress, which will feature an in-
ternational line-up of outstanding

plenary speakers, an impressive
roster of clinical experts, as well as
the BCMA’s regular annual
meeting with induction of the new
association president and other of-
ficers.

This congress is the largest ever
hosted outside British Columbia.

In addition, 500 physicians’
spouses and 500 children will be

attending special programs
throughout the conference.

This medical conference will
present the newest clinical and .
socio-medical information to par-
ticipants from all over North

America, in addition to offering an
opportunity to be part of Van-
couver during its 100th birthday
and Expo 86 celebrations.
