Altered body fat distribution after recovery of weight in patients with anorexia nervosa
Article Abstract:
Patients with anorexia nervosa show a significant decline in total bone mineral content, total lean body mass and total fat mass. These patients regain body fat with weight gain during recovery. Recent research indicates that patients with anorexia nervosa show central fat distribution when their body weight normalizes. This may be explained by the fact that adolescent females with central obesity could be more vulnerable to developing anorexia nervosa.
