| Abstract: | Background Anorexia nervosa is a severe psychosomatic disease with somatic complications in the long-term course and a high mortality
rate. Somatic comorbidities independent of anorexia nervosa have rarely been studied, but pose a challenge to clinical practitioners.
We investigated somatic comorbidities in an inpatient cohort and compared somatically ill anorexic patients and patients without
a somatic comorbidity. In order to evaluate the impact of somatic comorbidity for the long-term course of anorexia nervosa,
we monitored survival in a long-term follow-up. |
