Psychological correlates of weight gain in patients with anorexia nervosa
Abstract:
Self-report measures of desired weight, eating attitudes, depressive mood and obsessional symptoms were obtained for anorexic patients upon admission to hospital, discharge and 1 yr follow-up. Eating attitudes and depressed mood were significantly improved at discharge and follow-up, but still remained within the clinical rather than the normal range. Severity of abnormal eating attitudes upon discharge was the main psychological factor significantly correlated with degree of weight maintenance at follow-up.
