Childhood trauma and outcome trajectories in patients with longstanding eating disorders across 17 years.

Background: A large proportion of patients with eating disorders (ED) report experiences of childhood trauma. Latent trajectory analysis in ED samples reveals the complexities in course and outcome and can explore the long-term impact of adverse experiences in childhood.

Method: A total of 84 patients with longstanding ED were included.

Predictors of school-based cognitive behavior therapy outcome for youth with anxiety.

Meta-analyses of school-based CBT have shown that prevention for anxiety symptoms typically report small but significant effects. There is limited knowledge regarding which youths may benefit most and least from such programs, and characteristics of youth who respond differentially to interventions of different intensity. The present study examined predictors of school-based CBT outcomes among 302 youths (mean age 14.

Under pressure to exercise: a cross-sectional study of characteristics and predictors of compulsive exercise in early adolescents.

Background: To investigate the frequency of compulsive exercise among early adolescents, and determine the associated impact of sex, physical activity level, exercise habits, motivational regulation, dieting behaviour and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) on compulsive exercise.

Methods: Cross-sectional design with 8th grade adolescents (n = 572, mean ± SD age 13.9 ± 0.

Reciprocal relationships between personality disorders and eating disorders in a prospective 17-year follow-up study.

Objective: This study aimed to report the presence of categorical and dimensional personality disorders (PD) in adults with longstanding eating disorders (ED) over a period of 17 years and to investigate whether changes in PD predict changes in ED symptoms or vice versa.

Methods: In total, 62 of the 80 living patients (78% response rate) with anorexia nervosa (n = 23), bulimia nervosa (n = 25), or other specified feeding or ED (n = 14) at baseline were evaluated during hospital treatment and at 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, and 17-year follow-up. PD were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II disorders, and the eating disorder examination (EDE) interview was used to assess ED.

The 17-year outcome of 62 adult patients with longstanding eating disorders-A prospective study.

Objective: Although studies with short and intermediate observation time suggest favorable outcomes in regard to eating disorders (ED), there is limited knowledge on long-term outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the 5- and 17-year outcome of adult patients with longstanding ED who were previously admitted to an inpatient ED unit. ED diagnoses and recovery, comorbid and general psychopathology, along with psychosocial functioning and quality of life were evaluated.

Effectiveness of Brief and Standard School-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions for Adolescents With Anxiety: A Randomized Noninferiority Study.

Objective: We examined the effectiveness of targeted school-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adolescents (12-16 years of age) with anxiety, and tested whether brief CBT was noninferior to standard duration CBT.

Method: A randomized controlled study of 313 adolescents (mean 14.0 years, SD = 0.

School-based cognitive behavioral interventions for anxious youth: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Anxiety disorders are prevalent among adolescents and may have long-lasting negative consequences for the individual, the family and society. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment. However, many anxious youth do not seek treatment.

Exercise dependence score in patients with longstanding eating disorders and controls: the importance of affect regulation and physical activity intensity.

Objective: To examine associations among exercise dependence score, amount of physical activity and eating disorder (ED) symptoms in patients with longstanding ED and non-clinical controls.

Methods: Adult female inpatients (n = 59) and 53 age-matched controls participated in this cross sectional study. Assessments included the eating disorders examination, eating disorders inventory, exercise dependence scale, reasons for exercise inventory, and MTI Actigraph accelerometer.

Physical fitness, bone mineral density and associations with physical activity in females with longstanding eating disorders and non-clinical controls.

Aim: To examine (i) aerobic fitness, muscular strength, and bone mineral density (BMD) in female inpatients with longstanding eating disorders and non-clinical controls, and (ii) associated and explanatory factors for BMD among the inpatients.

Methods: Adult females with DSM-IV anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) or eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) (n=59, mean(SD) age 30.1(8.

Physical activity in treatment units for eating disorders: clinical practice and attitudes.

Objective: Physical activity (PA) in eating disorders (ED) may be harmful, but in a therapeutic setting also beneficial. The purpose of this survey was to examine these contradictory aspects of PA in ED specialist treatment settings. We examined whether 1) PA is assessed by the unit, 2) the units have guidelines for managing excessive PA, 3) the units have staff with higher education and special competence in PA and exercise science, 4) how units regard PA in ED, 5) whether regular PA is integrated in the treatment programs, and 6) how the units rate the role of PA in the treatment of ED compared with other mental disorders.
