The total body potassium content and the potassium concentration in serum and erythrocytes was measured in 16 patient with anorexia nervosa (8 "vomiters" and 0 "restricters"). The data were compared with results obtained for I I normal controls, whose body weight was 99.6% ? 4.99% of ideal body weig

## Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between premorbid weight and weight upon referral for inpatient treatment in patients with anorexia nervosa (an). ## Method: Forty-nine consecutively ascertained female inpatients with an were asked to recall their premor
Objective: In contrast to other types of starvation which are characterized by low CD4+ counts and increased susceptibility to infection, anorexia nervosa is not associated with an increase in infectious complications. To determine why infection risk of anorectics differs from that of other starving
## Objective: A systematic epidemiological comparison of body weights of patients with anorexia nervosa can be enhanced by the use of age percentiles for the body mass index. ## Method: To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, body mass indices of 81 female adolescents with anorexia nervo
Objective: To determine whether bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a valid measure of change in body fat in anorexia nervosa (AN) patients during refeeding, as compared to skin fold calipers (SF). Methods: Prospective cohort study with measures of BIA and SF performed once a month for 3 month
Body composition was measured by electrical conductivity in 7 anorexic, 10 bulimic, and 14 control subjects. Potassium 40 measurement was used as a reference method. Percent fat calculated from both measurements correlated highly frs = f0.89, p<.061). The precision of the electrical conductivity met
