Regional body composition in adolescents with anorexia nervosa and changes with weight recovery.
BACKGROUND Studies of regional fat distribution in adults with anorexia nervosa (AN) have shown decreased extremity fat at baseline and increased trunk fat with weight recovery, resulting in truncal adiposity. Little is known about fat distribution in adolescents with AN, especially with weight recovery. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether regional fat distribution in adolescents with AN...
متن کاملBody composition changes in female adolescents with anorexia nervosa.
BACKGROUND Body weight provides limited information about nutritional status of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to determine body composition (BC) changes, to find clinical predictors and endocrine correlates of total body protein (TBPr) depletion, and to compare results on fat mass (FM) obtained with anthropometry (skinfold measurements) and dual-energy X-...
متن کاملChanges in Body Composition in Anorexia Nervosa: Predictors of Recovery and Treatment Outcome
The restoration of body composition (BC) parameters is considered to be one of the most important goals in the treatment of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). However, little is known about differences between AN diagnostic subtypes [restricting (AN-R) and binge/purging (AN-BP)] and weekly changes in BC during refeeding treatment. Therefore, the main objectives of our study were twofold: 1) t...
متن کاملBody composition in female anorexia nervosa patients.
For the first time, body composition has been studied in a very large sample of female anorexia nervosa patients (n 200) using two methods: anthropometry (skinfold thickness) and densitometry (underwater weighing). The concurrent validity of both methods appeared to be good (r 0.84). Although the mean percentage of body fat (13.5) in our sample corresponds with most of the previous reports, the...
متن کاملRefeeding Hypophosphatemia in Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa
The rate of adolescents presenting with anorexia nervosa (AN) is increasing. Medically unstable adolescents are admitted to the hospital for nutrition restoration. A lack of global consensus on appropriate refeeding practices of malnourished patients has resulted in inconsistent refeeding practices. Refeeding hypophosphatemia (RH) is the most common complication associated with refeeding the ma...
