Abstract
The validation of this new methodological approach of the follow-up of anorexia nervosa based on the patients' perception of the evolution of their disease, aside from anthropometrical or physiological parameters, will have to be tested on a new population of patients. A quantitative score will be developed in association with the self-administered questionnaire. Its use in further epidemiological studies will enable a scientific assessment of the patients' outcome, and better prevent further complications and relapses, by screening patients with a pejorative risk. The ultimate aim is to improve these patients' care.
