Summary

This observational study looks at how people with different eating disorders—like ARFID, anorexia, and bulimia—think and process information. Researchers will use questionnaires and computer tasks to measure traits like cognitive flexibility and body perception. The goal is to better understand these conditions, not to test a treatment.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population includes adolescent and adult participants aged between 14 and 65 years, of both sexes, recruited among individuals diagnosed with Feeding and Eating Disorders and healthy control volunteers. The clinical group consists of patients with a diagnosis of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, anorexia nervosa, or bulimia nervosa, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) lower than 25. Eligible participants must meet the diagnostic criteria for a Feeding and Eating Disorder according to DSM-5-TR and must provide written informed consent to participate in the study. For participants under the age of 18, written consent from parents or legal guardians is required in addition to the minor's assent. A group of healthy control participants will be recruited in order to obtain a sample balanced with the patient group in terms of sex, age, and educational level. The same inclusion and exclusion criteria applied to the patient group will be considered for the control group.
