- The 3 anorexia diagnostic criteria?
- correct answers Diagnostic Criteria
1. Restriction of energy intake relative to requirements, leading to a significantly low body weight in the context of age, sex, developmental trajectory, and physical health. - Significantly low weight is defined as a weight that is less than minimally normal or, for children and adolescents, less than that minimally expected.
2. Intense fear of gaining weight or of becoming fat, or persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain, even though at a significantly low weight.
3. Disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or persistent lack of recognition of the seriousness of
the current low body weight.
1. Restricting type?
2. Binge eating/purging?
3. Partial remission?
4. Full remission? correct answers 1.Restricting type: During the last 3 months, the individual has not engaged in recurrent episodes of binge eating or purging behavior (i.e., self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas). Weight loss is accomplished primarily
through dieting, fasting, and/or excessive exercise.
2.Binge-eating/purging type: During the last 3 months, the individual has engaged in recurrent episodes of binge eating or purging behavior (i.e., self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas).
3.In partial remission: After full criteria for anorexia nervosa were previously met, Criterion A (low body weight) has not been met for a sustained period, but either Criterion B (intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat or behavior that interferes with weight gain) or Criterion C (disturbances in self-perception of weight and shape) is still met.
4.In full remission: After full criteria for anorexia nervosa were previously met, none of the criteria have been met for a sustained period of time.
Criteria for Anorexia? - mild
-moderate
-severe
- extreme correct answers The minimum level of severity is based, for adults, on current body mass index (BMI) or, for children and adolescents, on BMI percentile. The level of severity may be increased to reflect clinical symptoms, the degree of functional disability, and the need for supervision.
Mild: BMI ≥ 17 Moderate: BMI 16-16.99 Severe: BMI 15-15.99 Extreme: BMI < 15
By comparison, normal rates for BMI are:
18.5 - 24.9 = Normal
25 - 29.9 = Overweight
30 and above = Obese
Prevelence? correct answers Prevalence
The 12-month prevalence of anorexia nervosa among young females is approximately 0.4%. Less is known about prevalence among males, but anorexia nervosa is far less common in males than in females, with clinical populations generally reflecting approximately a 10:1 female-to-
male ratio.
- Remission in how many years? correct answers Most individuals with anorexia nervosa experience remission within 5 years of presentation. Death most commonly results from medical complications associated with the disorder itself or from suicide.
Risk and prognosis factors - Environmental, genetic,cultural ? correct answers Risk and Prognostic Factors
Temperamental
Individuals who develop anxiety disorders or display obsessional traits in childhood are at increased risk of developing anorexia nervosa.
Environmental
Association with cultures and settings in which thinness is valued. Occupations that encourage thinness, such as modeling and elite athletics, are also associated with increased risk.
Genetic and physiological
There is an increased risk of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa among first-degree biological
relatives of individuals with the disorder. An increased risk of bipolar and depressive disorders has also been found among first-degree relatives of individuals with anorexia nervosa, particularly relatives of individuals with the binge-eating/purging type.
