title: Hypercholesterolemia in bulimia nervosa.
abstract: Patients with bulimia nervosa may present with serum cholesterol levels higher than the recommended range. Giving advice on dietary modification to reduce cholesterol levels runs contrary to the cognitive behavioral strategies used to treat bulimia nervosa. This would not be a problem if it were found that cholesterol levels fell with clinical improvement in the eating disorder.
