The psychiatric condition of patients suffering from anorexia nervosa (AN) is affected by their nutritional status. An optimal assessment of the nutritional status of patients is fundamental in understanding the relationship between malnutrition and the psychological symptoms. The present review evaluates some of the available methods for measuring body composition in patients with AN. We searched literature in Medline using several key terms relevant to the present review in order to identify papers. Only articles in English or French were reviewed. A brief description is provided for each body composition technique, with its applicability in AN as well as its limitation. All methods of measuring body composition are not yet validated and/or feasible in patients with AN. The present review article proposes a practical approach for selecting the most appropriate methods depending on the setting, (i.e. clinical v. research) and the goal of the assessment (initial v. follow-up) in order to have a more personalised treatment for patients suffering from AN.
患有神经性厌食症 (AN) 的患者的精神状态受到其营养状况的影响。对患者营养状况进行最佳评估对于了解营养不良与心理症状之间的关系至关重要。本综述评估了一些用于测量 AN 患者身体成分的方法。我们在 Medline 中使用了与本综述相关的几个关键词进行文献检索，以确定相关论文。仅对英文或法文的文章进行了回顾。简要描述了每种身体成分技术，以及其在 AN 中的适用性及其局限性。目前，还没有针对 AN 患者验证和/或实施所有身体成分测量方法。本文综述提出了一种实用的方法，根据评估的设置（临床与研究）和目的（初始与随访）来选择最合适的方法，以便为患有 AN 的患者提供更个性化的治疗。
