Highlights & Basics
- People with anorexia nervosa (AN) typically have low body weight, intense fear of gaining weight, and a body image disturbance.
- While more often detected in women, AN in young men may be under-diagnosed.
- Weight restoration with refeeding techniques is essential for prevention of sequelae, such as heart failure, fertility problems, and osteoporosis.
- People with AN are often identified through family referral, pediatric monitoring of weight during routine physical exam, and their physical complaints.
- Early intervention is key in order to prevent long-term psychiatric and physical complications of AN.
