Factors associated with recovery from anorexia nervosa

Open access

Abstract

Previous studies of prognostic factors of anorexia nervosa (AN) course and recovery have followed clinical populations after treatment discharge. This retrospective study examined the association between prognostic factors--eating disorder features, personality traits, and psychiatric comorbidity--and likelihood of recovery in a large sample of women with AN participating in a multi-site genetic study. The study included 680 women with AN. Recovery was defined as the offset of AN symptoms if the participant experienced at least one year without any eating disorder symptoms of low weight, dieting, binge eating, and inappropriate compensatory behaviors. Participants completed a structured interview about eating disorders features, psychiatric comorbidity, and self-report measures of personality. Survival analysis was applied to model time to recovery from AN. Cox regression models were used to fit associations between predictors and the probability of recovery. In the final model, likelihood of recovery was significantly predicted by the following prognostic factors: vomiting, impulsivity, and trait anxiety. Self-induced vomiting and greater trait anxiety were negative prognostic factors and predicted lower likelihood of recovery. Greater impulsivity was a positive prognostic factor and predicted greater likelihood of recovery. There was a significant interaction between impulsivity and time; the association between impulsivity and likelihood of recovery decreased as duration of AN increased. The anxiolytic function of some AN behaviors may impede recovery for individuals with greater trait anxiety.

  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    Participants were able to report the temporality of their psychiatric diagnoses accurately.

    “These analyses also assume that participants were able to report temporality of their psychiatric diagnoses accurately.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    Participants did not have a period of recovery (12 months without symptoms of anorexia nervosa) and relapse back to anorexia nervosa prior to the recovery event captured by the measures.

    “our analyses assume that participants did not have a period of recovery (12 months without symptoms of AN) and relapse back to AN prior to the recovery event captured by our measures.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Temperament and personality traits are stable and not substantially affected by the emotional and cognitive stress of extreme dietary restriction and malnutrition.

    “although a convincing theoretical argument could be made that temperament and personality are stable, it is possible that women with AN might respond differently to these assessments when experiencing the emotional and cognitive stress of extreme dietary restriction and malnutrition than they would when fully weight-restored during recovery”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
