Dietary energy density and diet variety as predictors of outcome in anorexia nervosa

Abstract

In recently weight-restored women with AN, lower DEDS and DVS but not caloric intake were associated with poor outcome.

Hypertransaminasemia in severely malnourished adult anorexia nervosa patients: Risk factors and evolution under enteral nutrition

“…The impact of progressive oral refeeding cannot be determined due to its high variability or imprecision and, for some patients, to non-fair report and food selection, a common characteristic of AN patients. 22 It is important to emphasize that patients who did not have hyperaminotransferasemia at admission retained normal liver function tests during the 4 weeks of refeeding. Individual susceptibility to hepatic tolerance cannot be excluded, regardless of the quality of care.…”

Nutritional Evaluation of Eating Disorders

“…Eating disorders are complex diseases with a high morbidity and mortality, involving somatic and nutritional impact as a result of poor eating practices (Carrard et al, 2011;Schebendach et al, 2008Schebendach et al, , 2011.…”

“…A proper schedule is appropriate for metabolic activity, so these data are useful for the therapeutic approach. In addition, it could provide data on the possible evolution of the disease, because usually the more restrictive profile are organized and inflexible whereas those profiles of purging eating disorders tend to be erratic and very flexible (Loria & Gómez, 2010;Schebendach et al, 2008). Intakes' place register provides information if the person usually eats at home or regularly has out-home meals and provides information if intakes are made in a dining room or in any other room.…”

“…Nowadays, a low nutritional variety is associated with a poor prognosis of the pathology (Loria et al, 2009;Schebendach et al, 2008;Steinhausen et al, 2002).…”

“…One analysis of the dietary choice in patients with eating disorders shows a trend to choice little varied, low energy density menus with protein excess and fat deficiencies (Jáuregui & Bolaños, 2009;Loria et al, 2009;Loria & Gómez, 2010;Schebendach et al, 2008;Steinhausen et al, 2002).…”
