Reviewer 2 Report

This review summarized children with AN, definition, diagnosis, epidemiology,symptoms, medical assessment as well as psychological assessment and treatment, thoroughly providing a full picture of children with AN. It is a great review article. One suggestion I have for the authors, could you include some information on what countries seem to be prevalent for AN, and the potential reason for that in sections like epidemiology? So we will know better the correlation between AN and countries or regions. Thanks for your attention.

Author Response

Dear reviewer,

I would like to thank your for your kind comments. In response, I have added a small paragraph in the epidemiology part of my article on the worldwide epidemiology of AN (although it is not quite the subject of this article), which is marked in yellow.

Kind regards
