The literature reflects contradictory evidence on the ability of persons with anorexia nervosa (AN) to accurately report body weight and height. Furthermore, it is currently unknown if individuals are able to correctly report their weight and height following weight recovery from AN.
This study examined the accuracy of self-reported body weight and height following remission from anorexia nervosa (RAN).
Individuals included women with RAN (n = 45), anorexia nervosa (AN; n = 23), and controls (CON; n = 71). Subjective body mass index (BMI; kg/m(2)) was calculated from self-reported weight and height; objective BMI was calculated using values obtained with standard measures.
Subjective weights were significantly less than objective weights for the RAN and CON groups (p < .005). These groups reported being taller resulting in lower subjective BMIs (p < .001). The AN group did not significantly differ on subjective and objective weight, height, or BMI.
Results highlight the importance of objective measures for early identification/relapse prevention.
文献反映了患有神经性厌食症（AN）的人准确报告体重和身高的能力存在矛盾的证据。此外，目前尚不清楚个体在从 AN 恢复体重后是否能够正确报告其体重和身高。
本研究检查了 AN 缓解后自我报告的体重和身高的准确性。
纳入了患有神经性厌食症缓解（RAN）的女性（n=45）、神经性厌食症（AN；n=23）和对照组（CON；n=71）的个体。主观体重指数（BMI；kg/m(2)）是根据自我报告的体重和身高计算得出的；客观 BMI 是使用标准测量值获得的值计算得出的。
RAN 和 CON 组的主观体重明显低于客观体重（p<0.005）。这些组报告身高较高，导致主观 BMI 较低（p<0.001）。AN 组在主观和客观体重、身高或 BMI 上没有显著差异。
结果强调了客观测量对于早期识别/复发预防的重要性。
