ObjectiveTo clarify the association between acute anorexia nervosa (AN) and semi-starvation (SS) by focusing on similarities and differences in physiology, mood, and behavior.MethodA comparison of published literature between these two groups.ResultsBoth groups show similar hormonal and metabolic changes in response to caloric restriction and extreme weight loss (~25%). Associated changes result in a reduced body temperature (Tcore-low). Maintenance of body temperature within a specific range is crucial to survival. However, both groups cannot activate autonomic strategies to maintain their Tcore-low, such as increasing metabolic rate, constricting skin blood vessels, or shivering. Furthermore, Tcore-low increases the individuals’ “coldness sensations” throughout the body, hence the frequent reports from ANs and SSs of “feeling cold.” To eliminate these uncomfortable “coldness sensations” and, importantly, to maintain Tcore-low, ANs, and SSs “select” different thermoregulatory behavioral strategies. It is proposed that the primary differences between AN and SS, based on genetics, now manifest due to the “selection” of different thermo-regulatory behaviors. AN patients (ANs) “select” hyperactive behavior (HyAc), which increases internal metabolic heat and thus assists with maintaining Tcore-low; in harmony with hyperactive behavior is a lively mood. Also related to this elevated arousal pattern, ANs experience disrupted sleep. In contrast, SS individuals “select” a passive thermo-behavioral strategy, “shallow torpor,” which includes reduced activity, resulting in energy conservation. In addition, this inactivity aids in the retention of generated metabolic heat. Corresponding to this lethargic behavior, SS individuals display a listless mood and increased sleep.ConclusionInitial similarities between the two are attributable to physiological changes related to extreme weight loss. Differences are most likely attributable to genetically programmed “selection” of alternate thermoregulatory strategies, primarily to maintain Tcore-low. However, if acute AN is prolonged and evolves into a chronic condition, AN will more closely align with starvation and more precisely reflect SS symptomology.

“…Nervous anorexia is a public health problem because it has a long clinical history and can become chronic. [13].Bulimia is usually characterized by a lack of self-control, whereas anorexia is its excess. A study by Costa-Val et al used semi-structured interviews with health professionals, participants in Primary Care teams and Mental Health in a municipality in Minas Gerais, to get to know how workers in a health network understand bulimia and anorexia.…”

Introduction: The eating disorders (ED) are psychological distress responsible for causing negative effects with how the individuals see themselves. They are classified in two main categories: Anorexia and Bulimia. Researchers show that students from Health field, practitioners of sport, dancers are more predisposed to the ED development. Goal: to identify on literature corporal dissatisfaction in dancers and their associated factors relating them to eating disorders development. Methodology: Through the LILACS, BVS and MEDLINE databases, studies from the past ten years on dissatisfaction with body image and the development of Eating Disorders were gathered. For the search, health descriptors such as Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa and Dance. Results and discussion: On the results, it was viewed that the corporal dissatisfaction is categorically present in the lives of the dancers, once it showed present in 80 % of the analysed articles. Critical comments, expectation put by society and the coach’s opinion are related factors for the dissatisfaction with the body. Conclusion: it concludes that the corporal dissatisfaction is present in the group of dancers, being one of the main factors for the Eating disorder development.
