 Scientists have come up with a new way to determine whether someone is suffering from an eating disorder-examining their hair.
　　 A study released on Monday by researchers from Utah's Brigham Young University found that examining carbon and nitrogen in the proteins of hair could reveal information about a person's day-to-day "nutrition".

　　 Lead author Kent Hatch from the university's department of integrative biology said clinicians could use this as a tool to help diagnose such disorders as anorexia or bulimia because many sufferers lied or did not recognize their problems.

　　 Hatch said current methods used to diagnose and monitor patients suffering from eating disorders relied heavily on questionnaires and interviews.Reuters

　　 科學家研究出新方法，靠化驗頭髮，以斷定一個人是否患上飲食失調症。

　　 猶他州楊伯翰大學的研究員周一公布研究報告，表示發現頭髮的蛋白質中，所含的碳及氮養份可以反映一個人的每日「營養」吸引狀況。

　　 首席報告撰寫人、該所大學綜合生物科的哈奇說，臨醫生可以透過此種方法，協助診斷厭食症、暴食症等飲食失調症，因為很多患者會說謊，或沒有察覺他們有問題。

　　 哈奇說，現時用以診斷及監察飲食失調症病人的方法，主要依賴問症及問卷調查。 路透社
