Weight Stigma's Effects on Misdiagnosis of Eating Disorders Among Laypeople and Healthcare Professionals.
Int J Eat Disord
January 2025
Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Objective: There is limited research on weight bias in diagnosing eating disorders (EDs), particularly among healthcare professionals (HCPs). This is especially true for atypical anorexia nervosa, a diagnosis recently described in the DSM that includes people with anorexia nervosa symptoms who are not clinically underweight.
Method: Using a within-subjects design, we assessed diagnosis, diagnostic confidence, and ED-related medical knowledge among a sample of lay people and medical professionals.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN), highlighting their significant medical complications among young patients.
- It analyzed data from patients under 19 years old admitted between 2013 and 2019, comparing various demographic and clinical factors.
- Findings revealed that AAN was more common than AN, and important correlations were found between weight loss metrics and various health indicators, suggesting these factors contribute significantly to medical complications.
TeenGrowth: Individualized Estimations of Weight-Related Risk and Recovery Metrics for Young People With Eating Disorders.
Int J Eat Disord
January 2025
University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Texas at Austin, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
Objective: While weight restoration and/or stabilization is crucial for successful treatment and sustained recovery from restrictive eating disorders (EDs), it is often challenging to define an individual's expected healthy body weight. This paper introduces the TeenGrowth package and its web-based application, designed to calculate and forecast predicted body mass index (BMI) and weight across adolescence.
Method: TeenGrowth includes functions for data cleaning, predicted BMI z-score and BMI calculations, and growth forecasting.
Assessing Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) Clinicians' Knowledge, Practice, and Attitudes toward Anorexia Nervosa, Atypical Anorexia Nervosa, and Amenorrhea.
J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol
December 2024
Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey, PA, USA; Division of Adolescent Medicine.
Study Objective: Anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) are eating disorders (EDs) characterized by extreme restriction of energy intake. However, in contrast to AN, those with AAN are not underweight. Although individuals with either AN or AAN can experience associated functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) that may prompt them to seek gynecological care, little is known about OBGYNs' knowledge and approach to these patients; this study sought to fill this gap.

Background: Appetite-regulating hormones are implicated in anorexia nervosa (AN) pathophysiology, however, data are limited for appetite-regulating hormones across the AN weight spectrum. We aimed to investigate fasting and post-prandial concentrations of appetite-regulating hormones - peptide YY (PYY), cholecystokinin (CCK), and ghrelin - among adolescent and young adult females across the AN weight spectrum, specifically those with AN and Atypical AN, and healthy controls (HC).
Methods: Participants (N = 95; ages 11-22 years) included 33 with AN, 25 with Atypical AN, and 37 HC.
