Body Mass Index and Severe AN: A longtime standard did not apply well to severe disease.
- Abstract
Using body mass index (BMI, mg/kg2) to establish the severity of disease among patients with EDs is still being debated. The authors pointed out that treatment is commonly intensified when a patient's BMI is low, and the three groups had different lengths of hospitalization and longer stays than those at lower BMIs. The authors noted that treatment commonly intensified when a patient's BMI was low, and the three groups had different lengths of hospitalization and longer stays than those at lower BMI scores; this was seen on all measures.
