Abstract
OJEDA-ALVAREZ, Noemí; JAUREGUI-LOBERA, Ignacio and HERRERO-MARTIN, Griselda. When does the treatment of an eating disorder end from the dietarynutritional point of view?. JONNPR [online]. 2023, vol.8, n.1, pp.470-485. Epub Jan 29, 2024. ISSN 2529-850X. https://dx.doi.org/10.19230/jonnpr.4446.
Objective:
This piece of work pretends to analyze the current consensus about when the completion of the dietary-nutritional treatment of eating disorders is established, as well as what requirements must be met, in the context of a multidisciplinary treatment.
Methods:
For the elaboration of this work, secondary sources of information have been consulted, such as the electronic databases PubMed, SciELO, and Dialnet Plus, in which we have introduced different descriptors related to our objectives and we have selected our inclusion criteria, compiling a total of 20 articles for analysis.
Results:
The current reality of recovery from eating disorders is understood as a restoration of weight and body composition, with little evidence on what the necessary dietary interventions should be like to improve the health and nutrition of people with eating disorders.
Conclusions:
One of the main reasons seems to be the scarcity of studies on the relationship between the eating behavior of patients who regained weight, and their long-term results; Therefore, it seems necessary to define a long-term, qualitative recovery dietary protocol with a lower probability of relapse.
