Distortion of body image perception in the Prader-Willi syndrome: Relationship with the perceptual reasoning index.

Introduction: Self-perception of body image has been scarcely evaluated in people with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), who, in addition to intellectual disability, are often obese. Therefore, we explored whether people with PWS can accurately identify their true image and how this self-perception is impacted by their neuropsychological profile.

Methodology: This observational study included patients with PWS with regular attendance to transdisciplinary treatment at a center specialized in the management of rare diseases.
