  • Title: Nutritional status and food habits assessed by dietary intake and anthropometrical parameters in anorexia nervosa.
    Author: Moreiras-Varela O, Nuñez C, Carbajal A, Morande G.
    Journal: Int J Vitam Nutr Res; 1990; 60(3):267-74. PubMed ID: 2276885.
    Abstract:
    A nutritional study was carried out on 43 adolescents females (5 hospitalized and 38 ambulatory) suffering from anorexia nervosa and on a control group matched for sex and age. The study consisted of an interview, a "48 h. recall" and anthropometric measurements. The results have demonstrated that the nutritional status of anoretics are characterized by a total energy restriction resulting in a drastically reduced intake of macronutrients and selected micronutrients, an increased proportion of energy derived from protein. Finally, preferences and aversions are conditioned by calories content of food.
