Anorexia nervosa: analysis of long-term outcomes and clinical implications.
Recovery from anorexia nervosa is a lengthy process and involves overcoming physical as well as psychosocial problems. Factors such as weight at referral, laboratory values, and psychosocial variables tend to predict long-term outcomes and help guide clinical interventions. Non-weight restored as well as some weight restored individuals experience chronic problems. Long-term consequences of anorexia nervosa indicate a need for continued oversight and individual treatment planning.
