Nutritional Management and Outcomes in Anorexia Nervosa

Dear Colleagues,

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a serious eating disorder that affects 1–2.2% of young women. Its mortality rate is high, ranging between 6 and 16 times higher than the general population. Somatic complications are the first mortality causes, before suicide, and these can be the consequences of either undernourishment, pathological behaviors such as vomiting, potomania, problematic physical activity, or adverse effects of refeeding. To avoid these complications, nutrition should be monitored precisely, from being in a life-threatening condition in intensive care to long-term follow up even after weight restoration.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the latest advances in the pathophysiology of AN and its complications and treatment pathways, as well as early renutrition, in order to avoid refeeding syndrome while allowing a fast weight recovery, restoring nutritional status, treating pathological nutritional behaviour, and preventing relapses.
