The aim of this study was to compare quality of life in anorexia nervosa patients to that of subjects without eating disorders, with other eating disorders, or with other psychiatric disorders. Results showed reduced quality of life for eating disorder patients, including anorexia nervosa, as compared to normal controls and individuals with other psychiatric disorders; however, whether anorexia nervosa treatment resulted in improved quality of life remains controversial. Furthermore, anorexia nervosa had a modest impact in the physical domain, although this may reflect self-report limitations as well as the psychopathology of the disorder rather than healthy functioning.
本研究旨在比较神经性厌食症患者与无饮食障碍者、其他饮食障碍者或其他精神障碍者的生活质量。结果表明，与正常对照组和其他精神障碍患者相比，包括神经性厌食症在内的饮食障碍患者的生活质量降低；然而，神经性厌食症治疗是否能提高生活质量仍存在争议。此外，神经性厌食症在身体领域有一定的影响，尽管这可能反映了自我报告的局限性以及该疾病的精神病理学，而不是健康功能。
