Abstract
The past year's crop of follow-up and outcome studies tends to confirm prevailing opinion. Investigators working with hospitalized anorexia nervosa sufferers found that many sufferers continue to suffer from eating disorders, even after several years. There is, however, a tendency to move toward bulimia nervosa and partial syndromes as opposed to noneating diagnoses. Sufferers from bulimia nervosa rarely go on to develop anorexia nervosa. Nevertheless, a need for good follow-up data on population-based samples and treatment trials remains.Keywords
