- Abstract
Introduction: Eating disorders (ED) present low diagnosis stability based on current diagnostic classifications. That's why, transdiagnosis approach and endophenothype concept take relevance. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to perform a descriptive analysis of neuropsychological variables, which could be related, considering demographical and psychopathological aspects. Methods: A descriptive analyse was performed with 81 female patients with ED between 18-50 years old. Socio-demographical, Clinical and neuropsychological variables were collected. Results: From the 81 initially included patients, 7 did not meet some of the inclusion criteria and 24 were lost during the follow-up. The sample was reduced to 51 patients. The Rey Complex Figure Test (ROCFT) analysis yielded the following Results: Copy time: mean (M) 2.94 (standar deviation, SD 1.12), Copy: M 34.28 (SD 2.76), Memory: M 19.47 (SD 6.02), Order: M 2.14 (SD 0.73), Style: M 1.54 (SD 0.32), Coherence: M 1.42 (SD 0.34). Conclusions: Time of ROCTF copy was found in the 50th percentile. The accuracy and richness of the copy were on average in the 80th percentile, due to the perfectionism patients' tendency. However, in the memory figure, the mean was in the 40th percentile with greater variability. Probably, because of fact that 27% of the patients developed it with an unusual pattern in order to their age, similar found in others studies that highlighted deficiencies in central coherence. The global analysis of the sample, only show promising results regarding executive functions, especially central coherence, congruent with those expected and found in previous studies.
