[Prognostic factors for long-term survival in anorexia nervosa].
This work describes the results of a long-term follow-up (mean duration = 13.5 years) of 105 female anorexia nervosa patients, for 93.3% of whom (n = 98) we were able to obtain information. Our objective was to identify factors affecting the long-term prognosis in these cases. Weight gain and a stable partnership after treatment as well as high body weight on termination of treatment were shown to be especially important for long-term recovery. This suggests the following for treatment of anorexia nervosa: besides restoration of normal body functions, the patient should attempt to leave her parents' home and enter a partner relationship. Further weight gain should not be neglected during this process.
