This study describes specific heart rate reactions when confronted with photographic body stimuli of different weight categories in adolescent and adult patients with anorexia nervosa compared to control participants. The psychophysiological approach used in this study revealed the strongest reactions for pictures of extremely underweight and overweight women, which may reflect emotional processes such as body dissatisfaction and anxiety due to social comparison in adolescents and young women. View this paper
