TLDR
It is suggested that a long duration of illness, substance abuse, low weight, and poor psychosocial functioning raise the risk for mortality in anorexia nervosa.Abstract:
ObjectiveAlthough anorexia nervosa has a high mortality rate, our understanding of the timing and predictors of mortality in eating disorders is limited. The authors investigated mortality in a long-term study of patients with eating disorders.MethodBeginning in 1987, 246 treatment-seeking female patients with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa were interviewed every 6 months for a median of 9.5 years to obtain weekly ratings of eating disorder symptoms, comorbidity, treatment participation, and psychosocial functioning. From January 2007 to December 2010 (median follow-up of 20 years), vital status was ascertained with a National Death Index search.ResultsSixteen deaths (6.5%) were recorded (lifetime anorexia nervosa, N=14; bulimia nervosa with no history of anorexia nervosa, N=2). The standardized mortality ratio was 4.37 (95% CI=2.4–7.3) for lifetime anorexia nervosa and 2.33 (95% CI=0.3–8.4) for bulimia nervosa with no history of anorexia nervosa. Risk of premature death among patients with lifetime ...read more

TL;DR: An increase in BD is associated with an increased risk of developing ED in adolescents of both genders but is greater in girls than in boys, while the influence of the MM and BMI are predictors of BD in both genders; and BD is a predictor of ED risk in both girls and boys.

TL;DR: A novel CBM training is associated with more positive processing of social information in Anorexia Nervosa, and this would be of interest to test the hypothesis that reducing cognitive biases towards social stimuli impacts on wider features of an eating disorder.

Mortality Rates in Patients With Anorexia Nervosa and Other Eating Disorders
TL;DR: The study found age at assessment to be a significant predictor of mortality for patients with anorexia nervosa, and further research is needed to identify predictors of mortality in patients with BN and EDNOS.
