Anorexia nervosa (AN) is related to difficulties in emotion regulation, including a deficit in interoceptive awareness. The lack of interoceptive awareness is considered a vulnerability involved in the development and maintenance of anorexic symptoms. Surprisingly, no study has been conducted that focuses on these associations in an emotional context. This study measures the interoceptive awareness-using heartbeat self-counting and a sphygmomanometer-of 25 subjects suffering from AN and 25 control subjects, first at rest and then in an emotional situation. The results show that a deficit in interoceptive awareness was observed for the subjects suffering from AN at rest as well as when an emotional context was induced. This study encourages future investigations to focus on the impact of interoceptive deficit in AN to develop as efficient a care regimen as possible for these subjects.
神经性厌食症（AN）与情绪调节困难有关，包括内感受性觉知缺陷。内感受性觉知的缺乏被认为是厌食症状发展和维持过程中的一个易损因素。令人惊讶的是，尚未有研究聚焦于这些关联在情绪背景下的情况。本研究对25名神经性厌食症患者和25名对照受试者进行了内感受性觉知测量——使用心跳自我计数和血压计，首先在静息状态下，然后在情绪情境中进行测量。结果显示，无论是静息状态还是诱发情绪情境时，神经性厌食症患者都存在内感受性觉知缺陷。本研究鼓励未来的调查聚焦于神经性厌食症中内感受性缺陷的影响，以便为这些受试者制定尽可能有效的护理方案。
