Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
According to International Classification of Diseases by World Health Organization, eating disorders are behavioural syndromes associated with physiological disturbances. Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, atypical bulimia nervosa, overeating associated with other psychological disturbances and vomiting associated with other psychological disturbances. Maladaptive eating pattern and inadequate physical activity are seen in adolescents with eating disorders and obesity. Those with comorbid eating disorder and obesity have a poorer prognosis and are at higher risk for future medical problems.
