Illicit Drug Use Cigarette Smoking and Eating Disorder Symptoms: Associations in an Adolescent Twin Sample

摘要

Objective:Twin studies have shown that genetic factors in part explain the established relation between alcohol use (i.e., problematic use or abuse/dependence) and eating disorder symptoms in adolescent and adult females. However, studies have yet to elucidate if there are similar shared genetic factors between other aspects of substance involvement, such as illicit drug use and repeated cigarette smoking.
