Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study involving 91 pediatric patients with eating disorders sought to determine the relationship between improvements in body weight, eating attitudes, and psychosocial factors and the reduction of depressive symptoms over a 12-month treatment period.
- Results showed a significant decrease in depressive symptoms, as indicated by the Children's Depression Inventory scores, and an increase in body mass index standard deviation scores, suggesting that weight and attitude improvements were linked to better mental health outcomes.
- The study concluded that therapeutic interventions targeting body weight and eating behaviors led to notable improvements in depressive symptoms among children with eating disorders.
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and feeding and eating disorders (FEDs) such as anorexia nervosa (AN) are strongly linked as evidenced by frequent comorbidity and overlapping traits.

Moreover, FEDs are heterogeneous, and there has been no examination of autistic traits in avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
