Prospective study of attention, executive functions, and mentalizing abilities in a representative sample of teenage-onset anorexia nervosa (AN).
A total of 51 AN cases recruited after community screening were contrasted with 51 matched comparison cases 18 years after AN onset. Neuropsychological tests had been done at 21, 24, and 32 years (18 years after AN onset).
The AN-group had more attention, executive function, and mentalizing problems. Some of these problems had been present at all three follow-up occasions.
AN is associated with a range of neuropsychological problems that are present long after the eating disorder per se is no longer an important feature.
对青少年起病的神经性厌食症（AN）患者进行前瞻性研究，分析其注意力、执行功能和心理理论能力。
在社区筛查后招募了 51 例 AN 病例，并与 AN 发病 18 年后的 51 例匹配对照病例进行对比。在 21 岁、24 岁和 32 岁（AN 发病 18 年后）进行了神经心理学测试。
AN 组存在更多的注意力、执行功能和心理理论问题。其中一些问题在所有三个随访阶段都存在。
AN 与一系列神经心理学问题相关，这些问题在进食障碍本身不再是重要特征后很久仍存在。
