Abstract Background: Health-related quality of life is severely affected in patients with anorexia nervosa due to both physical and psychological consequences of the disease, but it is still uncertain whether the same factors affect both clinical outcome and quality of life. It is also unknown whether there are differences between patients and controls in terms of self-reported physical, psychological and social well-being. Methods: Women with anorexia nervosa were recruited from specialized eating disorder centers in the five regions of Denmark. Healthy, normal-weight controls were invited via online social media to participate in the study. Six questionnaires including study characteristics, quality of life, eating disorder symptomatology, depression, work and social adjustment and psychological well-being were completed online by all participants. Results: 211 women with anorexia nervosa and 199 controls participated in the study. Women with anorexia nervosa reported significantly lower quality of life, both in terms of disease-specific HRQoL using the Eating Disorders Quality of Life Scale and on measures of general health, psychological well-being, and work functioning. Psychological and cognitive factors were highly associated with poor quality of life (p-value<0.05). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that attention to and management of disordered self-assessment and thought processes may be of special importance to women with anorexia nervosa and their families. It is possible that greater emphasis on such aspects alongside weight gain could enhance patient-clinician alliance and contribute to better treatment outcomes.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to examine the short and long-term results of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (Basic BAT) on balance confidence and health-related quality of life in the people with Wernicke Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS) who survived hunger strike. Methods: A single case experimental design was used in the study. Basic BAT was applied to 4 people as a group therapy once a week for 12 weeks. Balance confidence was assessed with the Activities-specific Balance Con- fidence (ABC) Scale and health status was assessed with Health-related Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36 Short Form). Assess- ments were done before treatment, after treatment, at 3-month and 6-month follow-up. Results: 4 patients achieved clinically signifi- cant improvements on balance. All patients achieved significant change in physical functioning and role physical subcategories of SF-36. Visual analysis showed that the improvement in the patients continued after the treatment during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Basic BAT is effective as a physi- otherapy method in the treatment of cerebellar problems, balance disorders and gait incoordination seen in WKS. The Basic BAT method may provide a new perspective for the rehabilitation of survivors of hunger strikes with WKS.
