title: Climate might be considered as a risk factor for anorexia nervosa? A hypothesis worth another look.
abstract: Environmental factors, such as ambient temperature m(AT), may have a causal role in the development of anorexia nervosa (AN), in addition to factors like the idealization of thinness. We present the literature and a bibliographic analysis that associate AN and a temperate climate.
